Questions people ask about Family and Childrens Association
Is Family and Childrens Association residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Hempstead is set up for.
What does Family and Childrens Association detox from?
They detox from opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Hempstead.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Family and Childrens Association?
Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Hempstead.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Family and Childrens Association?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Hempstead.
Does Family and Childrens Association offer appointments by video?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Hempstead often still has to be in person.
Does Family and Childrens Association treat teenagers?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Hempstead is worth confirming before you drive over.
What if someone has been to treatment before?
A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. What was learned the first time usually shapes a better plan the second. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.
How soon could someone start?
Outpatient care usually starts within days. A residential bed can be immediate or weeks out. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask what is available this week, not just what the program is.
