Questions people ask about Family Guidance Centers Inc

Is Family Guidance Centers Inc inpatient or outpatient?

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

Does Family Guidance Centers Inc offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Joliet, under a mile away.

Is Family Guidance Centers Inc an option for someone under 18?

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Joliet.

Is there a program at Family Guidance Centers Inc for people like me?

They offer a program for court referrals, which not every center around Joliet does.

Are there free support meetings in Joliet?

Alongside this, Joliet has 20 NA meetings and 20 free AA meetings.

What is different about mandated treatment?

Court ordered treatment is routine, and programs that take it are used to the paperwork. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?

Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.

Does medication replace counseling?

It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. If a specific medication matters to you, ask for it by name rather than asking about medication in general.
