Questions people ask about Encompass Community Center
Which levels of care does Encompass Community Center have?
They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Santa Cruz is set up for.
Can you detox at Encompass Community Center?
No. There is no detox listed near Santa Cruz at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
Do I have to come in person to Encompass Community Center?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Santa Cruz often still has to be in person.
Are there free support meetings in Santa Cruz?
Santa Cruz has 60 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does Encompass Community Center treat people in Spanish?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Santa Cruz are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
Are there other options nearby?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Santa Cruz, so the next option is a longer drive.
What if I cannot pay for treatment?
Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. A quote for 30 days and a quote for 90 days get presented the same way, so the length is the first thing to check. Ask what the deposit is and whether any of it comes back if the program ends early.
Can I bring my own medication?
What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.
