Questions people ask about WomanPlace
What treatment does WomanPlace offer?
They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Somerville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what WomanPlace offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Cambridge, under a mile away.
What is there in Cambridge that costs nothing?
Cambridge has 72 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Are remote sessions an option at WomanPlace?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Cambridge differ on it.
Does WomanPlace treat older adults?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Cambridge.
Does WomanPlace offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Cambridge.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Ask whether they offer the middle levels, because many only offer the two ends.
Do I have to tell my employer?
There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
