Questions people ask about Fola Community Action Services Inc
Which levels of care does Fola Community Action Services Inc have?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Chicago, 2 offer a bed.
Does Fola Community Action Services Inc offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Chicago, 2.1 miles away.
Does Fola Community Action Services Inc have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Chicago.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Fola Community Action Services Inc?
They prescribe methadone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Chicago offers both.
How many options are within driving distance?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Chicago, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
How much will my family be told?
There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
What if this is not the first time?
It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
Can I start this week?
One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
