Questions people ask about Family Guidance Center
What kind of care does Family Guidance Center provide?
They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Saint Joseph has 6 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Family Guidance Center?
They handle detox for opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Saint Joseph has 6 other centers to compare.
Is there a residential program at Family Guidance Center?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Saint Joseph has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Can Family Guidance Center handle a dual diagnosis?
They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Saint Joseph has 6 other centers if this one cannot.
Is there a program at Family Guidance Center for people like me?
One of their programs is built for adult women, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 5 named here.
Which languages does Family Guidance Center offer treatment in?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Saint Joseph does.
How much does treatment cost?
Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.
Who answers the phone?
Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.
