Questions people ask about Community Medical Services

What kind of care does Community Medical Services provide?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Columbus, 2 offer a bed.

Can you detox at Community Medical Services?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Columbus, under a mile away.

Which medications does Community Medical Services prescribe?

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Columbus.

Is treatment available in a language other than English?

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Columbus has 8 other centers to ask.

What special programs does Community Medical Services offer?

One of their programs is built for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 5 named here.

Is Community Medical Services an option for someone over 65?

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Columbus that often means one room rather than two.

Is there anything after I finish?

Most of recovery happens after the program, which is an awkward fact for anyone selling programs. Alumni programs exist at many centers and are usually free to people who went through them. Ask who to ring at two in the morning, and get the number written down.

What does the court need from the program?

The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.
