Questions people ask about SSTAR - Substance Use Disorder Outpatient

Which levels of care does SSTAR - Substance Use Disorder Outpatient have?

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

Does SSTAR - Substance Use Disorder Outpatient offer a detox?

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Fall River.

Is there a residential program at SSTAR - Substance Use Disorder Outpatient?

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

Can any of this be done remotely?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Fall River.

Can SSTAR - Substance Use Disorder Outpatient handle a court referral?

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 7 things they offer a named program for.

Does SSTAR - Substance Use Disorder Outpatient treat people in Spanish?

Spanish is one of 4 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, Portuguese and Russian, which is a wider range than most of Fall River.

What is medication assisted treatment?

It is a prescription that steadies the ground while the rest of the treatment happens. The objection that it swaps one drug for another misses the mechanism: a stable prescribed dose does not produce a high and does not escalate. If a specific medication matters to you, ask for it by name rather than asking about medication in general.

Is treatment confidential?

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.
