Are there free support meetings in Philadelphia?
Alongside this, Philadelphia has 198 NA meetings and 13 free AA meetings.
Do I have to come in person to Asociacion Puertorriquenos en Marcha?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Philadelphia.
What do I say when I call?
Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
What is buprenorphine used for?
It is a prescription that steadies the ground while the rest of the treatment happens. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.
