Questions people ask about Easterseals PORT Health Services
Which levels of care does Easterseals PORT Health Services have?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Morehead City has 4 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Easterseals PORT Health Services offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Morehead City offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there other centers close to Easterseals PORT Health Services?
4 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Morehead City.
Can Easterseals PORT Health Services treat someone who does not speak English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Morehead City does.
Can you stay overnight at Easterseals PORT Health Services?
They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Morehead City offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.
Can my family come?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.
Who has access to my records?
A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. That rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it, which is worth knowing when you weigh it. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.
What if this is not the first time?
Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
