OnCall Healthy Living Program

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Northampton is set up for.

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

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Northampton does.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.5 miles away in Northampton.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Northampton often still has to be in person.

It is medical treatment for a medical condition, prescribed and monitored like any other. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. Ask how long the medication is expected to continue, and who reviews it.

There is often something available sooner at a different level of care than the one you called about. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.

Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
