Questions people ask about Project Chesapeake
Is Project Chesapeake residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Secretary is set up for.
Does Project Chesapeake offer a detox?
They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Secretary. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.
Does Project Chesapeake offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Secretary.
Is Project Chesapeake 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 Secretary.
Can Project Chesapeake handle a court referral?
Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 11 things they offer a named program for.
Are there other options nearby?
It is on its own in this part of MD, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.
Will they take my medication away?
Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.
Does my employer find out?
What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
