Questions people ask about Southwest Counseling Service
What kind of care does Southwest Counseling Service provide?
They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.
Can you detox at Southwest Counseling Service?
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 Rock Springs, 1.5 miles away.
Is there anywhere else close by?
2 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.5 miles away in Rock Springs.
Does Southwest Counseling Service treat teenagers?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Rock Springs has 2 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Is there anything in Rock Springs besides paid treatment?
Rock Springs has 18 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Rock Springs.
Can I do a shorter program?
The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient sit between residential and standard outpatient care, at a few hours a day. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
How does medication fit into treatment?
It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.
