Questions people ask about Garrett County Health Department
What levels of care does Garrett County Health Department offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Oakland is set up for.
Can you detox at Garrett County Health Department?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Oakland offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there an interpreter at Garrett County Health Department?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Oakland are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Does Garrett County Health Department take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Oakland send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Is there anything in Oakland besides paid treatment?
Oakland has 6 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does Garrett County Health Department prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Oakland.
Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?
One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.
How long is the wait?
It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.
