Questions people ask about Valley Community Services Board
What levels of care does Valley Community Services Board offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Staunton is set up for.
Is detox part of what Valley Community Services Board offers?
They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Staunton does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Staunton has 1 other center to ask.
What special programs does Valley Community Services Board offer?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Staunton has 1 other center to ask.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Valley Community Services Board?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Staunton about a teenager is in the right place.
What should I be comparing?
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. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
What is buprenorphine used for?
Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.
Who has access to my records?
Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. Insurance claims do create a record with the insurer, which is the usual route by which treatment becomes visible. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.
