Questions people ask about Clear Steps Recovery
Is Clear Steps Recovery inpatient or outpatient?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Needham, 3 offer a bed.
Does Clear Steps Recovery offer a detox?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Chestnut Hill, 4.5 miles away.
Does Clear Steps Recovery offer appointments by video?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Needham.
Can Clear Steps Recovery handle a dual diagnosis?
They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Needham Heights is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.
Who are the programs at Clear Steps Recovery built for?
They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Needham has 8 other centers to ask.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Who finds out that I went to treatment?
A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
Can I start this week?
Availability changes week to week, which is why no listing page can tell you. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.
