Questions people ask about Portland Community Health Center
What programs does Portland Community Health Center 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 Westbrook is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Portland Community Health Center offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Portland, 1.5 miles away.
Can Portland Community Health Center treat someone who does not speak English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Portland are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
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.
Does Portland Community Health Center do telehealth?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Portland.
What does the court need from the program?
Court ordered treatment is routine, and programs that take it are used to the paperwork. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.
What happens to the medication I already take?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.
Is what I say in a session confidential?
A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
