Questions people ask about Alternative Counseling - Spanaway

What programs does Alternative Counseling - Spanaway offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Spanaway, 1 offers a bed.

Can you detox at Alternative Counseling - Spanaway?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Tacoma, 7.0 miles away.

What special programs does Alternative Counseling - Spanaway offer?

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Spanaway has 8 other centers to ask.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Alternative Counseling - Spanaway?

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Spanaway.

Does Alternative Counseling - Spanaway do telehealth?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Spanaway.

What if I cannot pay for treatment?

The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.

Is the first call an assessment?

Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.

Which level of care do I need?

Inpatient is the higher level of care, and higher is not automatically better for everyone. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.
