Questions people ask about Community Medical Services

What treatment does Community Medical Services offer?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Cleveland has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Community Medical Services offers?

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

Can you stay overnight at Community Medical Services?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Cleveland.

Does Community Medical Services treat people who are pregnant?

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Cleveland may not have a second place set up for it.

Can Community Medical Services treat someone who does not speak English?

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

How many other options are in this area?

The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Cleveland, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

What is buprenorphine used for?

For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.

Can I start this week?

Detox beds turn over fastest because the stays are shortest. The longest lists tend to sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.
