Questions people ask about WY Valley Alc and Drug Servs Inc
What levels of care does WY Valley Alc and Drug Servs Inc offer?
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 Kingston is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what WY Valley Alc and Drug Servs Inc offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Wilkes Barre, 2.1 miles away.
Is there anything in Wilkes Barre besides paid treatment?
Wilkes Barre has 16 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What else is near WY Valley Alc and Drug Servs Inc?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Wilkes Barre.
Can WY Valley Alc and Drug Servs Inc treat someone who does not speak English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Wilkes Barre does.
Is the first call an assessment?
It is a screening conversation: what is being used, how much, your health, and what you are covered for. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.
Is 30 days enough?
Days for a detox, weeks for a residential stay, months for outpatient care. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
Who finds out that I went to treatment?
Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
