Questions people ask about Fairwinds Nantuckets Counseling Center
What levels of care does Fairwinds Nantuckets Counseling Center offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Nantucket is set up for.
Does Fairwinds Nantuckets Counseling Center offer a detox?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Nantucket. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Fairwinds Nantuckets Counseling Center?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Nantucket are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Nantucket.
Are there other centers near Fairwinds Nantuckets Counseling Center?
It is on its own in this part of MA, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.
Does support carry on after discharge?
Most of recovery happens after the program, which is an awkward fact for anyone selling programs. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Ask who to ring at two in the morning, and get the number written down.
Can I go back after a relapse?
A recurrence is a reason to adjust the plan rather than evidence that treatment is pointless. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.
What do I need to have with me on day one?
The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. Anything containing alcohol is usually refused, which catches people out on mouthwash and hand sanitizer. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.
