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 Pemberton is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Pemberton, 2.8 miles away.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Fort Dix has 8 other centers to compare.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Fort Dix often still has to be in person.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Fort Dix.

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

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.

The documents matter: identification, insurance details, and anything a prescriber has written for you. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
