Is medication assisted treatment available at Rutgers/UBHC - Specialized Addiction Treatment Servs?

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

Is there a program at Rutgers/UBHC - Specialized Addiction Treatment Servs for people like me?

They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around New Brunswick does.

Should family be part of this?

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. A household that changes nothing while one person is treated puts that person back into the same week they left. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.

What happens when I call?

The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.

What do I need to have with me on day one?

Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. If you are driving yourself, ask where the car will sit, because some programs keep the keys. Call (844) 822-5800 if you need to know what a particular program expects on arrival.
