Questions people ask about CARES
What treatment does CARES offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and New York has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what CARES offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New York, under a mile away.
Is telehealth available at CARES?
They do video appointments, which matters if New York is a drive for you.
Is there a residential program at CARES?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in New York.
Can a 16 year old be treated at CARES?
They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for New York specifically.
Can depression be treated at the same time?
Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.
Will my treatment be kept private?
A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.
Can I bring my phone?
Identification, insurance details, prescriptions in their labeled containers, and about a week of clothes. Phones are allowed at some centers, restricted at others, and the rule is often different in the first week. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
