Questions people ask about Independent Family Services
What treatment does Independent Family Services offer?
They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Johnstown is set up for.
Can you detox at Independent Family Services?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Johnstown offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Independent Family Services have beds?
They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Johnstown has the nearest beds, 6.2 miles away.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Independent Family Services?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Johnstown is worth confirming before you drive over.
Is there anything in Johnstown besides paid treatment?
Johnstown has 28 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.
Do they treat anxiety alongside addiction?
Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. Ask whether there is a psychiatrist or a prescriber on the team, and how often you would see them.
What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?
Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
