Questions people ask about Positive Directions - The Ctr for Prevention and Counseling

What kind of care does Positive Directions - The Ctr for Prevention and Counseling provide?

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

Can you detox at Positive Directions - The Ctr for Prevention and Counseling?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Westport, a few streets away.

What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Norwalk is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

Does Positive Directions - The Ctr for Prevention and Counseling treat teenagers?

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

Are there alternatives to Positive Directions - The Ctr for Prevention and Counseling?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Westport, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Is there a sliding scale?

Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. Every state operates a publicly funded system with its own intake line, separate from anything a private center offers. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.

What does insurance actually cover?

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. If a plan declines a level of care there is an appeal, and appeals are used more often than people expect.

Is a second attempt treated differently?

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask what is arranged for the weeks after discharge specifically.
