Questions people ask about Family Center of Thomas Jefferson Univ

Which levels of care does Family Center of Thomas Jefferson Univ have?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Philadelphia has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does Family Center of Thomas Jefferson Univ offer a detox?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Philadelphia offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

How many other options are in this area?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Philadelphia.

Which medications does Family Center of Thomas Jefferson Univ prescribe?

They prescribe 2 medications: methadone and buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Philadelphia.

Does Family Center of Thomas Jefferson Univ have beds?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Philadelphia has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Is there anything in Philadelphia besides paid treatment?

Philadelphia has 4 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Can I do a shorter program?

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
