Questions people ask about LifeWorks NW
What kind of care does LifeWorks NW provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Portland has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at LifeWorks NW?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Portland, 3.2 miles away.
Can LifeWorks NW treat someone who does not speak English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Portland does.
Which medications does LifeWorks NW prescribe?
They prescribe naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Portland.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Portland, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is there a pregnancy program at LifeWorks NW?
They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Portland may not have a second place set up for it.
Is what I say in a session confidential?
A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.
What should I bring to treatment?
The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
