Questions people ask about Northwestern Community Services
What treatment does Northwestern Community Services offer?
They are set up for 3 levels: outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Winchester, 1 offers a bed.

Is there anything in Winchester besides paid treatment?
Winchester has 16 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Will a program make me come off my medication?
Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.
How many weeks is a program?
Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
What is not allowed?
Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
