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

They handle detox for benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Newark has 6 other centers to compare.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Newark offers both.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Newark does.

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

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Newark.

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Ask who you would actually be treated by, and what their license is.

They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.
