Questions people ask about Top of the Hill Counseling
What programs does Top of the Hill Counseling offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Portland, 1 offers a bed.
Can you detox at Top of the Hill Counseling?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Portland, under a mile away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Top of the Hill Counseling?
No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Portland has 8 other centers to compare.
Does Top of the Hill Counseling treat older adults?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Portland that often means one room rather than two.
Does Top of the Hill Counseling have beds?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is under a mile away in Portland.
What is aftercare?
Aftercare is the step down: less intensive, longer lasting, and often the difference that lasts. Where medication is part of the plan, the handover to a community prescriber is the gap to watch. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.
Can I do a shorter program?
Anything from a week to a year, depending on what is being treated and how. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.
Is there a waiting list?
Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
