Questions people ask about About Change Counseling
Is About Change Counseling inpatient or outpatient?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Aurora, 2 offer a bed.
Does About Change Counseling offer a detox?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Aurora. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
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 Aurora has 8 other centers to ask.
Does About Change Counseling offer appointments by video?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Aurora.
Are there free support meetings in Aurora?
Alongside this, Aurora has 18 NA meetings and 31 free AA meetings.
Is About Change Counseling an option for someone under 18?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Aurora has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. Approval can arrive in stages, with the detox cleared while the level of care after it is still under review. Have your member id with you when you call, because nothing can be checked without it.
What is medication assisted treatment?
It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. Not every center is licensed for every medication, so what is on offer varies more than the clinical picture does. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.
