Questions people ask about Worcester County Health Department

What treatment does Worcester County Health Department offer?

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

Can you detox at Worcester County Health Department?

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 Princess Anne, 11 miles away.

Is Worcester County Health Department an option for a veteran?

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Pocomoke City.

Does Worcester County Health Department treat depression too?

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Pocomoke City that is the part that varies.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Worcester County Health Department?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Pocomoke City.

What happens after a program ends?

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Ask what the discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

Marketing language is nearly identical across the field, so the comparison has to be made on specifics. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Ask for an assessment rather than a recommendation, then ask what the assessment found.
