Murray Fork Clinic

They offer inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient and detox. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Fayetteville has 8 other centers.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Fayetteville can mean one group rather than several.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Fayetteville may not have a second place set up for it.

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

It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. People who arrive under an order do about as well as people who arrive voluntarily, which surprises most people. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
