Questions people ask about Substance Abuse Services Center Inc
What treatment does Substance Abuse Services Center Inc offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Dubuque has 3 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Substance Abuse Services Center Inc?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Dubuque, under a mile away.
Is Substance Abuse Services Center Inc an option for someone under 18?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Dubuque has 3 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Are there free support meetings in Dubuque?
Dubuque has 5 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Can Substance Abuse Services Center Inc handle a court referral?
They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Dubuque has 3 other centers if the dates do not work.
How do I choose between two centers?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.
Is there anything for the family?
Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Ask about the release of information early, because without it the updates stop.
What do I say when I call?
You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.
