Main Line Health Behavioral Health

They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

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

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Media.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Media has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 8 named here.

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

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Cost is a reasonable thing to lead with, and nobody answering a treatment line will be surprised by it.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
