Questions people ask about Fresh Start Counseling Services
What treatment does Fresh Start Counseling Services offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Munster, under a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at Fresh Start Counseling Services?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Calumet City, 2.8 miles away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Fresh Start Counseling Services?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Hammond.
Can you stay overnight at Fresh Start Counseling Services?
They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, East Chicago has the nearest beds, 4.2 miles away.
Does Fresh Start Counseling Services take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Hammond is something they handle.
What should I be comparing?
The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
How long would I be in a program?
It depends which level of care you are asking about, because they run on different clocks. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.
Is treatment confidential?
Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.
