Questions people ask about Metropolitan Family Service
Is Metropolitan Family Service residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Wheaton has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Metropolitan Family Service offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Wheaton, 1.9 miles away.
Are there alternatives to Metropolitan Family Service?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Wheaton, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Metropolitan Family Service?
Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Wheaton.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Metropolitan Family Service?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Wheaton has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Is there anything after I finish?
It normally means continuing outpatient sessions, a prescriber if medication is involved, and free meetings. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.
What if this is not the first time?
It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
Do I have to tell my employer?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. A phased return on reduced hours is a normal accommodation, and it is easier to agree before the leave than after it. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
