Questions people ask about Outpatient Center
Which levels of care does Outpatient Center have?
They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Athens is set up for.
Does Outpatient Center offer a detox?
No. There is no detox listed near Athens at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Outpatient Center?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Athens.
Can you stay overnight at Outpatient Center?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Athens.
Is Outpatient Center an option for someone over 65?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Athens.
Are there free support meetings in Athens?
Athens has 21 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
How do I tell two programs apart?
What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.
What should I bring to treatment?
Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Call (844) 822-5800 if you need to know what a particular program expects on arrival.
