Questions people ask about New Day New Start Behavioral Health
What levels of care does New Day New Start Behavioral Health offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Essex has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at New Day New Start Behavioral Health?
They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Essex is the nearest place that does it, a few streets away.
What is there in Essex that costs nothing?
Essex has 5 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Is there a pregnancy program at New Day New Start Behavioral Health?
Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 14 named programs here.
Is medication assisted treatment available at New Day New Start Behavioral Health?
They prescribe 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 Essex offers both.
Will a court accept this program?
Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.
Can I bring my own medication?
Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.
How long is the wait?
Sometimes, and it depends far more on the level of care than on the center. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
