Questions people ask about For the People by the People

What levels of care does For the People by the People offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Memphis, 5 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what For the People by the People 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 under a mile away in Memphis.

Does For the People by the People prescribe medication for opioid use?

They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Memphis will.

Is there a residential program at For the People by the People?

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Memphis, under a mile away.

Is a diagnosis handled at For the People by the People as well?

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 Memphis may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Is there a pregnancy program at For the People by the People?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 14 named programs here.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.

What happens when I call?

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.
