Questions people ask about Lakes Regional Community Center
Is Lakes Regional Community Center residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Sherman has 2 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Lakes Regional Community Center?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Sherman, under a mile away.
Does Lakes Regional Community Center treat older adults?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Sherman.
Does Lakes Regional Community Center take court ordered treatment?
They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Sherman has 2 other centers if the dates do not work.
Does Lakes Regional Community Center offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 2 centers near Sherman will.
Can I do a shorter program?
Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.
Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?
They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Ask whether they offer the middle levels, because many only offer the two ends.
How soon could someone start?
Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. Keep the phone on. Beds are offered at short notice and go quickly.
