Questions people ask about Groups Recover Together
What programs does Groups Recover Together offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Ellsworth has 4 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Groups Recover Together?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ellsworth offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there free support meetings in Ellsworth?
Ellsworth has 14 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Is there an interpreter at Groups Recover Together?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Ellsworth are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Do I have to come in person to Groups Recover Together?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Ellsworth.
What happens to the medication I already take?
Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask how often you would see a prescriber, not only whether one exists.
Is outpatient enough?
The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Describe the house you would be going back to, because that is the detail that decides it.
