Questions people ask about Catholic Human Services
Is Catholic Human Services residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Alpena has 3 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Catholic Human Services?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Alpena, 1.8 miles away.
Can you stay overnight at Catholic Human Services?
They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Alpena has the nearest beds, 1.8 miles away.
Is Catholic Human Services an option for someone under 18?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Alpena is worth confirming before you drive over.
Is telehealth available at Catholic Human Services?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Alpena often still has to be in person.
Can Catholic Human Services treat anxiety alongside addiction?
They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Alpena has 3 other centers if this one cannot.
What should I bring to treatment?
Documents, prescriptions, clothing, and the phone numbers you would struggle to replace. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
Will I lose my job?
There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
