Questions people ask about Adolescent Counseling Services
What treatment does Adolescent Counseling Services offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Redwood City, 3 offer a bed.
Can you detox at Adolescent Counseling Services?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Menlo Park, 3.8 miles away.
Can you stay overnight at Adolescent Counseling Services?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 3.2 miles away in Redwood City.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Adolescent Counseling Services?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Redwood City has 8 other centers.
Does Adolescent Counseling Services offer appointments by video?
They do video appointments, which matters if Redwood City is a drive for you.
Is there anything in Redwood City besides paid treatment?
Redwood City has 20 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What happens when I call?
It starts with a short assessment: the substance, the pattern, your health, and where you live. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
How long would I be in a program?
Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
