Questions people ask about DSAMH Bridge Clinic
What kind of care does DSAMH Bridge Clinic provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Dover has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Are there free support meetings in Dover?
Dover has 18 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Dover often still has to be in person.
Is DSAMH Bridge Clinic an option for someone over 65?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Dover.
Which medications does DSAMH Bridge Clinic prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Dover, not all of them do.
Is treatment confidential?
Privacy rules on this are tighter than most people expect, and they apply from the first phone call. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
Do I have to tell my employer?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
