Questions people ask about Guidance and Prevention Services
What treatment does Guidance and Prevention Services offer?
They provide outpatient. The nearest alternative is in Madison Heights, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does Guidance and Prevention Services offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Royal Oak offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What is there in Royal Oak that costs nothing?
Royal Oak has 28 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Can you stay overnight at Guidance and Prevention Services?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Royal Oak.
Does Guidance and Prevention Services prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Royal Oak will.
Is Guidance and Prevention Services an option for someone over 65?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Royal Oak.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
What if there is depression or anxiety as well?
Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. A diagnosis made during active use often changes once withdrawal is behind somebody. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.
