Questions people ask about Portland Community Health Center

Is there an interpreter at Portland Community Health Center?
They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and South Portland has 8 other centers to ask.
What does the court need from the program?
Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.
Can I go back after a relapse?
Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. What was learned the first time usually shapes a better plan the second. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
