Questions people ask about River Valley Counseling Center
Is River Valley Counseling Center residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Holyoke has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what River Valley Counseling Center offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Holyoke, 2.7 miles away.
Is there a program at River Valley Counseling Center for people like me?
Clients with a mental health diagnosis as well are one of the 3 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Can you stay overnight at River Valley Counseling Center?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Holyoke.
Are there free support meetings in Holyoke?
Alongside this, Holyoke has 29 NA meetings and 27 free AA meetings.
How do I pick the right place?
Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.
Can a program handle a court referral?
Court ordered and voluntary treatment are the same programs, with different paperwork around them. People who arrive under an order do about as well as people who arrive voluntarily, which surprises most people. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.
Who has access to my records?
Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. Insurance claims do create a record with the insurer, which is the usual route by which treatment becomes visible. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
