Questions people ask about Portland Community Health Center

Is Portland Community Health Center inpatient or outpatient?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Portland has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at Portland Community Health Center?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Portland, under a mile away.

Can you stay overnight at Portland Community Health Center?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Portland.

How many other options are in this area?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Portland.

Does Portland Community Health Center do telehealth?

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Portland often still has to be in person.

How much will my family be told?

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Look up the free family groups in Portland as well, because they outlast any program.

Is medication part of treatment?

It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.

Will I lose my job?

It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
