Questions people ask about New Start Treatment
Is New Start Treatment inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Milledgeville has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Can you detox at New Start Treatment?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Milledgeville offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there a residential program at New Start Treatment?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Milledgeville has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Is there a pregnancy program at New Start Treatment?
They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Milledgeville may not have a second place set up for it.
Does New Start Treatment treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Milledgeville.
Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.
What does dual diagnosis mean?
A mental health condition alongside substance use is the common case rather than the complicated one. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Bring the existing diagnosis and the name of whoever currently treats it.
What is buprenorphine used for?
Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. Ask how long the medication is expected to continue, and who reviews it.
