| How do I know I am addicted to alcohol or other drugs? |
| It usually takes an alcohol/drug assessment administered by a certified addictions counselor to determine whether or not someone is addicted. McCall counselors are certified to conduct such an assessment. Call for information - 860.496.2100. |
|
| How do I know whether I should be in the outpatient or residential program? |
| During the assessment process, our counselors discuss treatment options and suggest the appropriate program on an individual basis. |
|
| Can I get better by just going to 12-step meetings? Do I really need professional counseling? |
| Many do recover solely by attending 12-step meetings. However, it is our experience that your chances for strong and lasting recovery are improved significantly through treatment. During treatment at McCall, participants are introduced to and encouraged to attend 12-step meetings as part of recovery. We believe 12-step programs are an important part of recovery and sobriety. |
|
| I have a family and a job. I don't have time for treatment. What do I do? |
| If alcohol or other drugs are causing you problems, most likely you need to invest in treatment. Time and effort in a recovery program can assure a continued or renewed healthy relationship with your family and improved performance in the workplace. We have found that investment in treatment, although difficult for all involved, often assures a better life-situation in the long haul. |
|
| How do I pay for counseling programs? |
| Treatment costs are typically covered by private insurance companies, general assistance (SAGA), Medicare/Medicaid, and health management organizations. McCall uses a sliding fee scale for clients who have no public or private insurance. |
|
| What's the difference between addiction and dependence? |
| The two words are the same and either can be used correctly. |
