They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 3 centers within 14 miles of Newton, 2 offer a bed.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Newton does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Newton is worth confirming before you drive over.

Newton has 4 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adolescents, adult women, court referrals, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma and pregnant/postpartum.

Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
