Questions people ask about United Community and Family Services
What treatment does United Community and Family Services offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Lebanon is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at United Community and Family Services?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Willimantic, 11 miles away.
What is there in Colchester that costs nothing?
Colchester has 13 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What special programs does United Community and Family Services offer?
They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around Colchester does.
Does United Community and Family Services prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Colchester.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Colchester.
Is treatment expensive?
Cost turns on three things: the level of care, how long it lasts, and what your coverage picks up. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Ask whether they offer the middle levels, because many only offer the two ends.
