Questions people ask about Pierce County Dept of Human Services
What programs does Pierce County Dept of Human 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 River Falls is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Pierce County Dept of Human Services?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Ellsworth. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Can Pierce County Dept of Human Services handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Ellsworth send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Do I have to come in person to Pierce County Dept of Human Services?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 2 centers near Ellsworth differ on it.
Can Pierce County Dept of Human Services treat someone who does not speak English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Ellsworth has 2 other centers and not all of them do.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.
Which level of care do I need?
The choice is normally made on medical risk and on what home looks like, in that order. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask whether a center can carry out an assessment first rather than selling you a program.
Does my employer find out?
A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. Who sees a record inside a program is also limited, usually to the team treating you. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
