Waltham has 6 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The nearest alternative is in Weston, 2.3 miles away, if the age is the thing that rules this one out.

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 Waltham offers both.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.

The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Ask which level they would put a family member in, and why that one.
