Questions people ask about Essex Healthcare LLC.
What programs does Essex Healthcare LLC. offer?
They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Watchung, 1 offers a bed.
Can you detox at Essex Healthcare LLC.?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Plainfield, 2.2 miles away.
Does Essex Healthcare LLC. treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Watchung is set up for it.
Is Essex Healthcare LLC. an option for someone over 65?
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 Watchung.
Can you stay overnight at Essex Healthcare LLC.?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 3.8 miles away in Stirling.
Are there free support meetings in Watchung?
Watchung has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What are the warning signs of a bad program?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
Can depression be treated at the same time?
Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. A diagnosis made while someone is still using can be wrong, so assessment often waits until after detox. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.
