Questions people ask about Community Health Resources - Putnam Pathways/New Life
Is Community Health Resources - Putnam Pathways/New Life inpatient or outpatient?
They provide inpatient residential, outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Dayville, 5.5 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at Community Health Resources - Putnam Pathways/New Life?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Dayville, 5.6 miles away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Community Health Resources - Putnam Pathways/New Life?
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 Putnam offers both.
What is there in Putnam that costs nothing?
Putnam has 5 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Do I have to come in person to Community Health Resources - Putnam Pathways/New Life?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Putnam.
What if there is depression or anxiety as well?
It means a mental health condition alongside substance use, which describes most people in treatment. Not every center has a prescriber for psychiatric medication, and that is a concrete difference to ask about. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.
How long will I be away?
The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.
Do I have to tell my boss?
Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
