Questions people ask about Berks Counseling Center

What programs does Berks Counseling Center offer?

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

Is detox part of what Berks Counseling Center offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Wernersville, 9.3 miles away.

Is Berks Counseling Center an option for a veteran?

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 9 named programs at this address.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Berks Counseling Center?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 7 centers near Reading, not all of them do.

Is there a residential program at Berks Counseling Center?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Reading.

Do I have to come in person to Berks Counseling Center?

They do video appointments, which matters if Reading is a drive for you.

Will a program make me come off my medication?

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Where a program has no prescriber, your own doctor stays in charge of what you take. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.

Will I lose my job?

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
