Questions people ask about Harwood House

Is Harwood House inpatient or outpatient?

They provide inpatient residential. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Havertown is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Can you detox at Harwood House?

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Upper Darby. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

Is there anything in Upper Darby besides paid treatment?

Upper Darby has 85 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Who are the programs at Harwood House built for?

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Upper Darby does.

Does Harwood House prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Upper Darby, not all of them do.

Will a program make me come off my medication?

Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. Whether a program employs its own prescriber is a concrete difference worth asking about early. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.

Can depression be treated at the same time?

It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.

What if this is not the first time?

Going back into treatment is normal, and most centers treat people who have been through it before. A recurrence after a long gap and one in the first week are different problems with different answers. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.
