Who is Gifford Street Comprehensive Trt Ctr - Outpatient Counseling Program for?

Can family be involved in treatment?

Most programs include family sessions, and many treat the family as part of the work rather than as visitors. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

How long does treatment take?

Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. Ask what the step down looks like after the main program ends.

What does Suboxone do?

It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. Treatment that combines medication with counseling holds people in care longer than either on its own. If a specific medication matters to you, ask for it by name rather than asking about medication in general.
