Questions people ask about Novara Recovery Center
What levels of care does Novara Recovery Center offer?
They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Fairfax, 1 offers a bed.
Is detox part of what Novara Recovery Center offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Falls Church, about a mile away.
Does Novara Recovery Center prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Fairfax.
Does Novara Recovery Center treat older adults?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Fairfax.
Are there free support meetings in Fairfax?
Fairfax has 29 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What is different about mandated treatment?
Plenty of programs accept referrals from a court, a probation officer or a child welfare agency. The court usually specifies a level of care or a number of hours, and that narrows which programs qualify. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.
Is there anything for the family?
Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Ask about the release of information early, because without it the updates stop.
