They prescribe 3 medications: methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Suffern.

Suffern has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.

It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. Psychiatric medication and treatment medication can usually be managed together by the same team. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
