Questions people ask about MCCA - Derby Outpatient
Which levels of care does MCCA - Derby Outpatient have?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Derby has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at MCCA - Derby Outpatient?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Haven, 7.3 miles away.
Is there anything in Derby besides paid treatment?
Derby has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does MCCA - Derby Outpatient offer appointments by video?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Derby differ on it.
Does MCCA - Derby Outpatient have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Derby.
How long will I be away?
Days for a detox, weeks for a residential stay, months for outpatient care. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. Ask what the program length is and what happens if more time is needed.
Is methadone treatment on its own?
It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. Ask whether the medication can start during detox or only after it ends.
How private is this?
A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.
