Questions people ask about Searsport Counseling Associates
Is Searsport Counseling Associates 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 Ellsworth has 4 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Searsport Counseling Associates?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Ellsworth. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Does Searsport Counseling Associates offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Ellsworth has 4 other centers.
What special programs does Searsport Counseling Associates offer?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Ellsworth has 4 other centers to ask.
Can any of this be done remotely?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 4 centers near Ellsworth differ on it.
What is there in Ellsworth that costs nothing?
Ellsworth has 14 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
How long does the first call take?
You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
Will I lose my job?
Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
