Questions people ask about Portland Community Health Center

What kind of care does Portland Community Health Center provide?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Portland, 1 offers a bed.

Is detox part of what Portland Community Health Center offers?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Portland, under a mile away.

Is there a residential program at Portland Community Health Center?

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Portland, under a mile away.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Portland Community Health Center?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Portland.

Is Portland Community Health Center an option for someone under 18?

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Portland specifically.

Are there free support meetings in Portland?

Portland has 11 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

How private is this?

A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.

Will I lose my job?

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
