Questions people ask about Outer Cape Health Services
Is Outer Cape Health Services residential or day treatment?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 7 centers within 14 miles of Harwich Port, 1 offers a bed.
Is detox part of what Outer Cape Health Services offers?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Harwich Port. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Does Outer Cape Health Services prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 7 centers near Harwich Port, not all of them do.
Is there a residential program at Outer Cape Health Services?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Harwich Port.
Is telehealth available at Outer Cape Health Services?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 7 centers near Harwich Port differ on it.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 7 more within a short drive of Harwich Port, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
What are the warning signs of a bad program?
The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.
Is what I say in a session confidential?
The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Read what you sign at intake, because the release is in that stack.
