Questions people ask about Community Health Center
What programs does Community Health Center offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Silver City has 2 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Community Health Center?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Silver City, 2.3 miles away.
Does Community Health Center take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Silver City is something they handle.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Community Health Center?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Silver City about a teenager is in the right place.
Is there a residential program at Community Health Center?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Silver City has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
How long does the first call take?
Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.
Who finds out that I went to treatment?
Privacy rules on this are tighter than most people expect, and they apply from the first phone call. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?
Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
