Questions people ask about Families First of Florida
What kind of care does Families First of Florida provide?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Tallahassee, 1 offers a bed.
Is detox part of what Families First of Florida offers?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 2.4 miles away in Tallahassee.
Does Families First of Florida take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Tallahassee send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Does Families First of Florida treat teenagers?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Tallahassee is worth confirming before you drive over.
Can I do this by video instead?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Tallahassee differ on it.
What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Tallahassee that is the part that varies.
How do I tell two programs apart?
The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
Is medication assisted treatment effective?
The phrase covers three medications, each working differently, each needing a prescriber. Treatment that combines medication with counseling holds people in care longer than either on its own. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.
