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 Athens is set up for.
Is detox part of what Affect Therapeutics offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Athens offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What is there in Athens that costs nothing?
Athens has 21 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Affect Therapeutics?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Athens.
Can you stay overnight at Affect Therapeutics?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Athens has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
What should I be comparing?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.
What will I be asked on the phone?
You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
Can I work during treatment?
Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
