Questions people ask about Arbour Counseling Services
Which levels of care does Arbour Counseling Services have?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Lowell has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Arbour Counseling Services offer a detox?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is about a mile away in Lowell.
Is there anything in Lowell besides paid treatment?
Lowell has 15 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does Arbour Counseling Services prescribe medication for opioid use?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Lowell offers it.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Arbour Counseling Services?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Lowell that can depend on who is rostered that day.
Does Arbour Counseling Services have beds?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Lowell has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
What are the warning signs of a bad program?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.
Will a court accept this program?
It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Keep your own record of every session attended.
