Mountainside Treatment Center

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

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and no center near Canaan offers one at all.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Canaan.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Canaan can mean one group rather than several.

Canaan has 3 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Canaan.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.
