Questions people ask about Substance Abuse Guidance and Education
Is Substance Abuse Guidance and Education residential or day treatment?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 4 centers within 14 miles of Weatherford, 1 offers a bed.
Can you detox at Substance Abuse Guidance and Education?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Azle, 13 miles away.
Does Substance Abuse Guidance and Education offer medication for addiction?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Weatherford offers it.
Are there free support meetings in Weatherford?
Weatherford has 86 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is Substance Abuse Guidance and Education an option for someone over 65?
They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Weatherford cover.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. An out of network center can still be partly covered, and the difference lands on you. If a plan declines a level of care there is an appeal, and appeals are used more often than people expect.
What if someone has been to treatment before?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to delay. Programs will usually ask what happened last time, and the answer shapes what they offer. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Frequently yes, and the level of care decides it more than the employer does. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
