Questions people ask about First Step Counseling and Medical
Is First Step Counseling and Medical residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Knoxville, 7.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at First Step Counseling and Medical?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Kodak offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there anything in Kodak besides paid treatment?
Kodak has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Is there a program at First Step Counseling and Medical for people like me?
They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Kodak does.
Does First Step Counseling and Medical prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Kodak offers both.
How do people afford rehab?
The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask what the deposit is and whether any of it comes back if the program ends early.
What is different about mandated treatment?
It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. What gets reported is attendance and completion, not what you said in a session, unless the order says otherwise. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.
Can I bring my own medication?
Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.
