Caron Treatment Centers

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

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Plymouth Meeting. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is the only one named here.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Plymouth Meeting offers both.

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

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Nonprofit and faith based programs sometimes cost a fraction of commercial rates, with longer waits attached. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.

There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. The early part of any program is mostly stabilizing, and the work people picture when they think of treatment starts after that. Ask what the step down looks like after the main program ends.
