Independence Hall - Veterans Inc

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 3.6 miles away in Worcester.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Shrewsbury differ on it.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Shrewsbury, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Shrewsbury.

The block you are offered and the time the work takes are two different things, and that is the honest answer. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.

Frequently yes, and the level of care decides it more than the employer does. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
