Questions people ask about Peninsula Community Health Services of
Is Peninsula Community Health Services of inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Kenai has 3 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Peninsula Community Health Services of?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Soldotna, 7.4 miles away.
Do I have to come in person to Peninsula Community Health Services of?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Kenai often still has to be in person.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Peninsula Community Health Services of?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Kenai about a teenager is in the right place.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Kenai are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
How do I tell two programs apart?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.
Is the first call an assessment?
You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.
Can I work during treatment?
Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
