Questions people ask about Positive Pathways

Is Positive Pathways inpatient or outpatient?

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 Portsmouth is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Is detox part of what Positive Pathways offers?

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

Who are the programs at Positive Pathways built for?

LGBTQ clients are one of the 5 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Can a 16 year old be treated at Positive Pathways?

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Norfolk about a teenager is in the right place.

Can you stay overnight at Positive Pathways?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Norfolk has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Does Positive Pathways offer medication for addiction?

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Norfolk has 8 other centers to compare.

What does stepping down look like?

A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. Book the first follow up appointment before leaving rather than after.

How long does the first call take?

The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.
