BHG Newport News Treatment Center

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

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

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 9 things they offer a named program for.

They prescribe 3 medications: methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Newport News.

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

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. 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.

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.

Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.
