Questions people ask about WestCare Georgia

What treatment does WestCare Georgia offer?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Atlanta is set up for.

Does WestCare Georgia offer a detox?

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Atlanta. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

Does WestCare Georgia treat people who are pregnant?

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Atlanta is set up for it.

Is there a residential program at WestCare Georgia?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Atlanta.

Does WestCare Georgia 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 Atlanta offers it.

Can my family come?

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Ask about the release of information early, because without it the updates stop.

Is treatment confidential?

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.

What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?

Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone.
