Questions people ask about Community Action Group (CAG)
Is Community Action Group (CAG) 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 Washington has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Community Action Group (CAG)?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Washington. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Can Community Action Group (CAG) handle a court referral?
They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Washington has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.
Are remote sessions an option at Community Action Group (CAG)?
They do video appointments, which matters if Washington is a drive for you.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Washington are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Is there a residential program at Community Action Group (CAG)?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Washington.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Do they treat anxiety alongside addiction?
Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.
