Trinitas Regional Medical Center

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Staten Island, 2.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Staten Island, 2.5 miles away.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Bayonne.

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 2.4 miles away in Staten Island.

Alongside this, Bayonne has 27 NA meetings and 14 free AA meetings.

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.

There is often something available sooner at a different level of care than the one you called about. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.

Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
