Questions people ask about United Community and Family Services
Which levels of care does United Community and Family Services have?
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 Jewett City is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does United Community and Family Services offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Norwich, under a mile away.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Norwich often still has to be in person.
Can United Community and Family Services handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Norwich send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Is there anything in Norwich besides paid treatment?
Alongside this, Norwich has 21 NA meetings and 25 free AA meetings.
Does United Community and Family Services treat teenagers?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Norwich has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Is treatment expensive?
There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.
Does medication replace counseling?
It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.
