Center for Hope and Healing

They are set up for 2 levels: inpatient residential and detox. Of the 4 centers within 14 miles of Morgantown, 2 offer a bed.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 4 centers near Morgantown offers one at all.

4 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 3.1 miles away in Morgantown.

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 Morgantown.

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Morgantown cover.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
