Questions people ask about Citizen Advocates
What kind of care does Citizen Advocates provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Malone has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Does Citizen Advocates offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Malone offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Citizen Advocates?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25 and adults over 65, which in Malone is worth confirming before you drive over.
Is Citizen Advocates an option for a veteran?
Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 14 named programs at this address.
Is there anything in Malone besides paid treatment?
Malone has 9 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is telehealth available at Citizen Advocates?
They do video appointments, which matters if Malone is a drive for you.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.
Can I bring my own medication?
The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.
