Questions people ask about About Change Counseling
What levels of care does About Change Counseling offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Dundee, 2.7 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Is detox part of what About Change Counseling offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Elgin, 1.6 miles away.
Does About Change Counseling treat teenagers?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Elgin has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
What special programs does About Change Counseling offer?
They offer a program for court referrals, 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 Elgin has 8 other centers to ask.
What is there in Elgin that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Elgin has 18 NA meetings and 31 free AA meetings.
Can depression be treated at the same time?
Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.
What does insurance actually cover?
In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself.
