Airmid Counseling Services

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of East Orange, 3 offer a bed.

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in East Orange, under a mile away.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in East Orange that often means one room rather than two.

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in East Orange send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

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

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. The free meetings listed in East Orange are worth finding before you need them.

Addiction treatment sits alongside other medical benefits on most plans, so some coverage is the normal case. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.

Frequently yes, and the level of care decides it more than the employer does. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
