Questions people ask about Family Service and Childrens
Is Family Service and Childrens residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Franklin is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Family Service and Childrens offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Polk, 10 miles away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Family Service and Childrens?
No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Oil City has 4 other centers to compare.
Does Family Service and Childrens treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Oil City.
Can you stay overnight at Family Service and Childrens?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Polk, 10 miles away.
Is there a sliding scale?
Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Ask whether medication is inside the quote, because it is a frequent extra.
What will I be asked on the phone?
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. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
