Questions people ask about Marjorie Averill
What levels of care does Marjorie Averill offer?
They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Damariscotta is set up for.
Can you detox at Marjorie Averill?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Damariscotta offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Marjorie Averill?
They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Damariscotta.
Does Marjorie Averill prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Damariscotta.
Does Marjorie Averill have beds?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Damariscotta has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Does Marjorie Averill treat mental health as well?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Damariscotta that is the part that varies.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.
Will my treatment be kept private?
Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.
