Questions people ask about Psychotherapeutic Services PTS
Can you detox at Psychotherapeutic Services PTS?
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 Pasadena, 4.5 miles away.
Does Psychotherapeutic Services PTS prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Arnold will.
How many other options are in this area?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 3.2 miles away in Annapolis.
Is there anything in Arnold besides paid treatment?
Arnold has 6 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What do I say when I call?
The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Describe what is happening rather than the manageable version of it.
How long will I be away?
Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.
Can I start this week?
One place can take somebody today and another in the same town is a month out. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
