Recovery Team

They offer outpatient and inpatient residential. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Delray Beach has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Delray Beach is the nearest place that does it, 1.7 miles away.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Delray Beach that is the part that varies.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Delray Beach may not have a second place set up for it.

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 Delray Beach.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.

Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.

The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
