Questions people ask about Ernest E Kennedy Center
Which levels of care does Ernest E Kennedy Center have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Summerville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Ernest E Kennedy Center?
They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and North Charleston is the nearest place that does it, 10 miles away.
Can you stay overnight at Ernest E Kennedy Center?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Goose Creek.
What other centers are nearby?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 8.2 miles away in Summerville.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Ernest E Kennedy Center?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Goose Creek will.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Ernest E Kennedy Center?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Goose Creek has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
Court ordered and voluntary treatment are the same programs, with different paperwork around them. What gets reported is attendance and completion, not what you said in a session, unless the order says otherwise. Ask exactly what gets reported, to whom, and how often.
Will they take my medication away?
Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.
