MORCAP - Morton Hospital Comp Addiction Prog

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

They detox from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Foxboro that do it.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The nearest alternative is in Walpole, 3.2 miles away, if the age is the thing that rules this one out.

They offer treatment in Sign language, Creole and Portuguese. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Foxboro has 8 other centers to ask.

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

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.

Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. An employer that funds its own plan follows different rules from a state regulated one, and that changes who hears an appeal. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.

Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
