Questions people ask about New River Valley Community Services
What levels of care does New River Valley Community Services offer?
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 Dublin is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what New River Valley Community Services offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Pulaski offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does New River Valley Community Services offer appointments by video?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Pulaski often still has to be in person.
What special programs does New River Valley Community Services offer?
They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Pulaski does.
Can you stay overnight at New River Valley Community Services?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Pulaski has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Will a court accept this program?
Court ordered and voluntary treatment are the same programs, with different paperwork around them. The court usually specifies a level of care or a number of hours, and that narrows which programs qualify. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.
What is the family's part in this?
Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.
How long is the wait?
Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. Many programs start the paperwork while you wait, so the day a bed opens is not lost to admissions. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
