Right Choice Health Group

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

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Fitchburg, about a mile away.

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

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

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Fitchburg.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Fitchburg has 8 other centers to try.

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
