Questions people ask about Greater Essex Counseling Services
What treatment does Greater Essex Counseling Services offer?

Who are the programs at Greater Essex Counseling Services built for?

Is there anything in Newark besides paid treatment?
Newark has 27 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
What does the first conversation cover?
Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.
Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?
Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. Ask for an assessment before anybody recommends a level of care to you.
Do I have to tell my boss?
Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
