Questions people ask about Dorchester County Behavioral Health
What treatment does Dorchester County Behavioral Health offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Cambridge has 6 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Dorchester County Behavioral Health offers?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 1.7 miles away in Cambridge.
Can Dorchester County Behavioral Health handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Cambridge is something they handle.
What is there in Cambridge that costs nothing?
Cambridge has 10 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is there a residential program at Dorchester County Behavioral Health?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Cambridge, 1.7 miles away.
Do I have to come in person to Dorchester County Behavioral Health?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Cambridge.
How long does treatment take?
There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.
How long is the wait?
A bed is not something anyone can hold for you on a maybe, which is most of why lists exist. Calling several places on the same day is the normal approach rather than an impatient one. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
