CleanSlate Centers

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Belchertown has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Belchertown offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Belchertown are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

The nearest other center is 8.2 miles away, in Ludlow, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Belchertown.

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Stopping a psychiatric medication abruptly can cause real harm, which is why this is never a decision to make alone. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Ask for an assessment rather than a recommendation, then ask what the assessment found.

A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. Who sees a record inside a program is also limited, usually to the team treating you. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.
