Questions people ask about NorthLakes Community Clinic
What treatment does NorthLakes Community Clinic 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 Chippewa Falls is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at NorthLakes Community Clinic?
No. There is no detox listed near Eau Claire at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
Is there a program at NorthLakes Community Clinic for people like me?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Eau Claire has 8 other centers to ask.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Eau Claire has 8 other centers and not all of them do.
Is medication assisted treatment available at NorthLakes Community Clinic?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Eau Claire, not all of them do.
How many options are within driving distance?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Eau Claire.
Is outpatient enough?
Outpatient keeps work, school and family going. Inpatient pauses them. The higher level is not automatically the better one, and being placed above what you need is its own problem. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.
Can I start this week?
It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
