Questions people ask about Advocates Community Counseling

Is Advocates Community Counseling inpatient or outpatient?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Waltham is set up for.

Is detox part of what Advocates Community Counseling offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Weston, 2.3 miles away.

Does Advocates Community Counseling have a program for veterans?

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 8 named programs at this address.

Is a diagnosis handled at Advocates Community Counseling as well?

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Waltham may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Can a 16 year old be treated at Advocates Community Counseling?

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Waltham.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Advocates Community Counseling?

No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Waltham offers it.

Who answers the phone?

It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.

Is there a bed available now?

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Many programs offer an interim option while you wait, usually outpatient sessions or a daily check in. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
