Is there an age limit at New Directions Alcohol and - Drug Services Inc?

Are there other centers close to New Directions Alcohol and - Drug Services Inc?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Lancaster.

Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?

The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.

Will they take my medication away?

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.

Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?

Going back into treatment is normal, and most centers treat people who have been through it before. A recurrence after a long gap and one in the first week are different problems with different answers. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
