Resource Center for the Chemically Dep

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 Morris Plains is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Denville does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Denville has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They work in 2 languages beyond English: Sign language and Tagalog. Ask whether the group sessions in Denville are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.7 miles away in Morris Plains.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Whether a psychiatrist sits on the team, and how often you would see one, separates programs here. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. Coverage for detox is normally a separate question from coverage for the treatment that follows it. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
