B and D Integrated Health Services

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

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Durham has 8 other centers to compare.

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

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

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Durham has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

Having both is the ordinary case, and the programs built for it are described as integrated. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. Ask how often you would see a prescriber, not only whether one exists.

Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.
