Questions people ask about Empowering Families Program
What levels of care does Empowering Families Program offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 4 centers within 14 miles of Charlottesville, 1 offers a bed.
Can you detox at Empowering Families Program?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Charlottesville, 3.4 miles away.
Does Empowering Families Program offer appointments by video?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 4 centers near Charlottesville differ on it.
Can you stay overnight at Empowering Families Program?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Charlottesville.
Does Empowering Families Program prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 4 centers near Charlottesville will.
How much does treatment cost?
Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask what the deposit is and whether any of it comes back if the program ends early.
What will I be asked on the phone?
Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The call can end with nothing booked, and often does. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
