Questions people ask about Lower Merion Counseling and

Is Lower Merion Counseling and residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Bryn Mawr is set up for.

Is detox part of what Lower Merion Counseling and offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Devon, 5.9 miles away.

Do I have to come in person to Lower Merion Counseling and?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Bryn Mawr.

Does Lower Merion Counseling and prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

What special programs does Lower Merion Counseling and offer?

They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around Bryn Mawr does.

How do I choose between two centers?

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

How much will my family be told?

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask how often the family sessions meet and whether they happen in person.

Will my insurance cover this?

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
