Which medications does Esper Treatment Center prescribe?
They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Erie.
How do I tell two programs apart?
Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.
How much will my family be told?
Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Look up the free family groups in Erie as well, because they outlast any program.
