Questions people ask about Stepping Stone of North Carolina
What treatment does Stepping Stone of North Carolina offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in North Wilkesboro is set up for.
Does Stepping Stone of North Carolina offer a detox?
They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and North Wilkesboro is the nearest place that does it, 2.0 miles away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Stepping Stone of North Carolina?
They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 2 centers near North Wilkesboro, not all of them do.
Are remote sessions an option at Stepping Stone of North Carolina?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in North Wilkesboro often still has to be in person.
Is Stepping Stone of North Carolina an option for someone over 65?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in North Wilkesboro that often means one room rather than two.
What does treatment at a place like this cost?
What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Cost is a reasonable thing to lead with, and nobody answering a treatment line will be surprised by it.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Where a program has no prescriber, your own doctor stays in charge of what you take. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.
Is there anything for the family?
Most places run something for families, and the quality of it is one of the clearer differences between two centers. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.
