Second Chance Addiction Care - Nick Borowski

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Potomac is set up for.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Bethesda, 5.6 miles away.

Potomac has 64 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

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

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Potomac are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.

A previous attempt is information rather than a mark against you. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
