Addiction Specialists LLC - John F Natale LCADC

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Long Branch is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of West Long Branch offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Long Branch, under a mile away.

West Long Branch has 3 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

One of their programs is built for adult women, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 2 named here.

It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Treatment that combines medication with counseling holds people in care longer than either on its own. If a specific medication matters to you, ask for it by name rather than asking about medication in general.

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a call can answer it. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. Keep the phone on. Beds are offered at short notice and go quickly.
