Does Lake Whatcom Residential and Trt Ctr treat depression too?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Bellingham may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Can my family come?
There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
Does medication replace counseling?
Three medications sit under that phrase, and which one suits someone is a clinical decision. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.
