Questions people ask about Merakey Parkside Recovery
What programs does Merakey Parkside Recovery offer?
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.
Can you detox at Merakey Parkside Recovery?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Philadelphia, under a mile away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Merakey Parkside Recovery?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Philadelphia, not all of them do.
Does Merakey Parkside Recovery treat people in Spanish?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Philadelphia are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
What is there in Philadelphia that costs nothing?
Philadelphia has 198 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Is treatment expensive?
Nobody prices this from a listing. It turns on the level of care, the length, and what a plan is willing to approve. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.
Is the first call an assessment?
Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.
What are the usual program lengths?
Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.
