Questions people ask about Serenity Counseling Services
What treatment does Serenity Counseling Services offer?
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 Federal Way is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Serenity Counseling Services offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Tacoma offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Serenity Counseling Services treat depression too?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Tacoma may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Tacoma, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Serenity Counseling Services?
No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Tacoma has 8 other centers to compare.
Does Serenity Counseling Services offer appointments by video?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Tacoma.
Is there support after treatment finishes?
A program ending is a step down rather than a finish, at least where it is designed well. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. Ask who to ring at two in the morning, and get the number written down.
Is there anything for the family?
Most programs include family sessions, and many treat the family as part of the work rather than as visitors. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.
