Questions people ask about Affect Therapeutics
Which levels of care does Affect Therapeutics have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Mc Lean is set up for.
Can you detox at Affect Therapeutics?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Mc Lean offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are remote sessions an option at Affect Therapeutics?
They do video appointments, which matters if Mc Lean is a drive for you.
Does Affect Therapeutics treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Mc Lean.
Are there other centers near Affect Therapeutics?
Nothing else serves Mc Lean inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Affect Therapeutics?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Mc Lean offers both.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.
What happens when I call?
Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.
