Questions people ask about Family Counseling Center Inc
Is Family Counseling Center Inc residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Ava is set up for.
Is detox part of what Family Counseling Center Inc offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ava offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What special programs does Family Counseling Center Inc offer?
Veterans are one of the 12 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Does Family Counseling Center Inc treat older adults?
Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Ava, because a wide age range often still means one room.
Does Family Counseling Center Inc prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Ava.
What does stepping down look like?
Aftercare is whatever holds the weeks after a program ends, and it is the part people most often skip. Alumni programs exist at many centers and are usually free to people who went through them. Call (844) 822-5800 if the program has ended and nothing was arranged.
What does the first conversation cover?
Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Describe what is happening rather than the manageable version of it.
Will I lose my job?
Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
