Brattleboro Retreat - Anna Marsh Clinic

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 Swanzey is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Brattleboro, under a mile away.

They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Brattleboro.

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

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Brattleboro does.

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Free meetings, a prescriber and a weekly session are the usual three pieces of a plan that holds. Ask whether the aftercare is run by the program or handed to somebody else.

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

A program will want the full list on day one, including anything over the counter. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Call (844) 822-5800 if a specific prescription is the thing making this complicated.
