Questions people ask about Merakey

Is Merakey inpatient or outpatient?

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

Does Merakey offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Philadelphia, 3.5 miles away.

Is Merakey an option for someone over 65?

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Philadelphia that often means one room rather than two.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Merakey?

They prescribe methadone, 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 Philadelphia offers both.

Is there a pregnancy program at Merakey?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 10 named programs here.

Does Merakey treat people in Spanish?

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Philadelphia that can depend on who is rostered that day.

Can a program handle a court referral?

The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.

Should I live at the center?

One of them takes the decision to use out of your hands for a while. The other leaves it with you. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.
