Who are the programs at CHC Addiction Services built for?

What do I say when I call?
Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.
What is buprenorphine used for?
It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. Not every center is licensed for every medication, so what is on offer varies more than the clinical picture does. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.
What do I need to have with me on day one?
The documents matter: identification, insurance details, and anything a prescriber has written for you. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Ask for the written list before you pack, because every center's version differs.
