Questions people ask about Family and Medical Counseling Service

Is Family and Medical Counseling Service inpatient or outpatient?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Washington has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does Family and Medical Counseling Service offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Washington, about a mile away.

Is there a program at Family and Medical Counseling Service for people like me?

Court referrals are one of the 3 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Who is Family and Medical Counseling Service for?

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Washington has 8 other centers to try.

Can Family and Medical Counseling Service handle a dual diagnosis?

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Washington may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

What other centers are nearby?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Washington, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Is there a sliding scale?

Ask three centers and you will get three different figures, because they are pricing three different programs. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. Ask whether medication is inside the quote, because it is a frequent extra.

Will they take my medication away?

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.
