Questions people ask about First Light Counseling
What kind of care does First Light Counseling provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Lafayette is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at First Light Counseling?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is about a mile away in Lafayette.
Does First Light Counseling treat people who are pregnant?
Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 9 named programs here.
Does First Light Counseling offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Sparta has 5 other centers.
Is First Light Counseling an option for someone under 18?
They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Sparta.
Is treatment expensive?
There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.
Should I live at the center?
One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. The higher level is not automatically the better one, and being placed above what you need is its own problem. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.
How soon could someone start?
Availability changes week to week, which is why no listing page can tell you. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
