Counseling Center at Clark

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

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Union, 3.7 miles away.

Clark has 18 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

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

There are 8 more within a short drive of Clark, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. 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 criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
