Gosnolds Emerson House - Emerson House

They provide inpatient residential. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Falmouth is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Falmouth is the nearest place that does it, 2.4 miles away.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around West Falmouth does.

They prescribe 1 medication: buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to West Falmouth.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around West Falmouth does.

They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Describe the house you would be going back to, because that is the detail that decides it.

A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask what is available this week, not just what the program is.

There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
