Questions people ask about Georgia Mountains Community Services
Is Georgia Mountains Community Services residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Hartwell is set up for.
Can you detox at Georgia Mountains Community Services?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Hartwell offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is Georgia Mountains Community Services an option for a veteran?
They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Hartwell it may be mixed.
What is there in Hartwell that costs nothing?
Hartwell has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Which languages does Georgia Mountains Community Services offer treatment in?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Hartwell are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
What does treatment at a place like this cost?
There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.
Can family be involved in treatment?
Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
