Are remote sessions an option at Easterseals PORT Health?

Does Easterseals PORT Health treat older adults?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Ahoskie.
Does Easterseals PORT Health prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 2 centers near Ahoskie, not all of them do.
Can I bring my own medication?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
