OnTrack Inc - Medford Outpatient

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Phoenix is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Medford, under a mile away.

They prescribe buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Medford, not all of them do.

Alongside this, Medford has 15 NA meetings and 49 free AA meetings.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Medford.

Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Ask whether there is a psychiatrist or a prescriber on the team, and how often you would see them.

Programs expect family contact rather than tolerating it, though the amount is set by the person in treatment. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.

It is a set of questions about what is being used, your health, and what you are covered for. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
