Integrity House

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Newark is set up for.

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Newark. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

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

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Newark often still has to be in person.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Newark offers both.

Both at once is the common case, and treating only one of them is why some first attempts come apart. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Bring the existing diagnosis and the name of whoever currently treats it.

Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
