Questions people ask about River Valley Counseling Center
What treatment does River Valley Counseling Center offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Westfield is set up for.
Can you detox at River Valley Counseling Center?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Holyoke, 6.1 miles away.
Can a 16 year old be treated at River Valley Counseling Center?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Westfield has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Does River Valley Counseling Center have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Westfield.
Does River Valley Counseling Center prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Westfield offers both.
Can River Valley Counseling Center handle a dual diagnosis?
They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and West Springfield is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.
Should family be part of this?
Most programs include family sessions, and many treat the family as part of the work rather than as visitors. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
