Questions people ask about Highlands Community Services
What levels of care does Highlands Community Services offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Abingdon has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Does Highlands Community Services offer a detox?
They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Abingdon does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.
Is there an interpreter at Highlands Community Services?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Abingdon has 1 other center and not all of them do.
Can Highlands Community Services handle a court referral?
Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 7 things they offer a named program for.
Does Highlands Community Services treat mental health as well?
They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Abingdon has 1 other center if this one cannot.
What questions should I ask a center?
What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
Is the first call an assessment?
Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.
Do I need to stay overnight?
The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.
