Questions people ask about ABHS
Is ABHS inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Elberton is set up for.
Does ABHS offer a detox?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Elberton.
Is ABHS an option for someone under 18?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Elberton is worth confirming before you drive over.
Is medication assisted treatment available at ABHS?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Elberton.
Are there free support meetings in Elberton?
Elberton has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Are there other centers near ABHS?
It is on its own in this part of GA, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.
What is the family's part in this?
Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
What is not allowed?
Identification, insurance details, prescriptions in their labeled containers, and about a week of clothes. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Ask whether there is a laundry, because the answer halves what you need to bring.
