They offer outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Newark has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Newark.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Newark does.

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Newark cover.

Newark has 25 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.

Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
