Questions people ask about Healthcare Resource Centers
Is Healthcare Resource Centers inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and New Bedford has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Healthcare Resource Centers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Bedford, a few streets away.
Which medications does Healthcare Resource Centers prescribe?
They prescribe 2 medications: methadone and buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to New Bedford.
Do I have to come in person to Healthcare Resource Centers?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in New Bedford often still has to be in person.
Is there a residential program at Healthcare Resource Centers?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is a few streets away in New Bedford.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Healthcare Resource Centers?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in New Bedford that can depend on who is rostered that day.
What does stepping down look like?
The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.
What happens to school?
Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
