Goochland Powhatan Community Services

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Goochland is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Powhatan offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Powhatan has 1 other center and not all of them do.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Powhatan is set up for it.

Powhatan has 5 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

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 a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Days for a detox, weeks for a residential stay, months for outpatient care. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Ask what the step down looks like after the main program ends.
