Questions people ask about Confidential Help for Alc Drugs (CHAD)

Is Confidential Help for Alc Drugs (CHAD) 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 Auburn has 2 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Confidential Help for Alc Drugs (CHAD) offers?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Auburn offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Is treatment available in a language other than English?

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Auburn are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

Does Confidential Help for Alc Drugs (CHAD) have beds?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Auburn has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Is telehealth available at Confidential Help for Alc Drugs (CHAD)?

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 2 centers near Auburn differ on it.

Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?

Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

What if there is depression or anxiety as well?

The two feed each other, which is why handling them separately tends to work badly. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.

What if someone has been to treatment before?

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary calls an intake line takes. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
