Questions people ask about Family Access Center
What levels of care does Family Access Center offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Spencer has 2 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Family Access Center offers?
No. There is no detox listed near Spencer at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
Does Family Access Center have beds?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Spencer has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
What special programs does Family Access Center offer?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Spencer has 2 other centers to ask.
Are remote sessions an option at Family Access Center?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 2 centers near Spencer differ on it.
Does Family Access Center offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 2 centers near Spencer will.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
