Questions people ask about Center for Great Expectations

What kind of care does Center for Great Expectations provide?

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

Can you detox at Center for Great Expectations?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and New Brunswick is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

Does Center for Great Expectations treat people who are pregnant?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 10 named programs here.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Center for Great Expectations?

They prescribe 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 North Brunswick offers both.

Is there a residential program at Center for Great Expectations?

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

Is telehealth available at Center for Great Expectations?

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

How much does treatment cost?

Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. Get the figure in writing if you can, and ask what happens if you need longer than the program length.

Should family be part of this?

Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. A household that changes nothing while one person is treated puts that person back into the same week they left. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
