Questions people ask about Action for a Better Community

What treatment does Action for a Better Community offer?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Rochester has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at Action for a Better Community?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Rochester, under a mile away.

Can a 16 year old be treated at Action for a Better Community?

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Rochester about a teenager is in the right place.

Are there alternatives to Action for a Better Community?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Rochester, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

What special programs does Action for a Better Community offer?

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 9 named here.

What is the family's part in this?

Family sessions, education evenings and a visiting schedule are the usual shape of it. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. If you are calling about someone else, say so at the start and the conversation will fit.

Does my employer find out?

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.

Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?

A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. What changed, who was around, and whether medication was part of the plan are the questions worth asking after a recurrence. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
