Questions people ask about Greater Family Health
What kind of care does Greater Family Health provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Elgin has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Greater Family Health offer a detox?
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 about a mile away in Elgin.
Can Greater Family Health treat someone who does not speak English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Elgin are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Does Greater Family Health do telehealth?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Elgin.
Can you stay overnight at Greater Family Health?
They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Elgin has the nearest beds, about a mile away.
How many options are within driving distance?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Elgin, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
What happens to the medication I already take?
Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.
Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?
A recurrence is a reason to adjust the plan rather than evidence that treatment is pointless. What was learned the first time usually shapes a better plan the second. Ask what the aftercare looks like, because its absence is a common gap.
