Freedom House Recovery Center Inc - Durham Outpatient Clinic

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

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Durham, under a mile away.

Durham has 106 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Durham has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Durham.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Durham has 8 other centers to ask.

A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. Who sees a record inside a program is also limited, usually to the team treating you. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
