Questions people ask about Bicycle Health
Is Bicycle Health inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Boston is set up for.
Is detox part of what Bicycle Health offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Boston offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there free support meetings in Boston?
Alongside this, Boston has 15 NA meetings and 116 free AA meetings.
Does Bicycle Health prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Boston.
Does Bicycle Health have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Boston.
Is the first call an assessment?
It is a set of questions about what is being used, your health, and what you are covered for. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.
Is a second attempt treated differently?
Returning to use after treatment is common enough that programs are built expecting it. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.
Can I work during treatment?
Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
