Questions people ask about Firelands Counseling
Which levels of care does Firelands Counseling have?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Port Clinton has 5 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Firelands Counseling offers?

Can Firelands Counseling treat someone who does not speak English?
They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Port Clinton has 5 other centers to ask.
Can you stay overnight at Firelands Counseling?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 9.7 miles away in Sandusky.
Does Firelands Counseling prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 5 centers near Port Clinton, not all of them do.
How do I pick the right place?
The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.
What will I actually pay?
Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.
What if I have no insurance?
Most of the time, partly, and the share depends on the plan rather than on the center you pick. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.
