Questions people ask about First Step Recovery Centers
Which levels of care does First Step Recovery Centers have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Memphis is set up for.
Can you detox at First Step Recovery Centers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Memphis offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What special programs does First Step Recovery Centers offer?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Memphis does.
What is there in Memphis that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Memphis has 23 NA meetings and 398 free AA meetings.
Are remote sessions an option at First Step Recovery Centers?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Memphis often still has to be in person.
Can depression be treated at the same time?
The two feed each other, which is why handling them separately tends to work badly. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.
What are the usual program lengths?
Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to delay. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
