New Start Recovery Solutions

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

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Concord has 8 other centers to compare.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Concord, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Concord has 8 other centers to try.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Concord that is the part that varies.

The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask what happens on the last day, and what gets arranged before it.

Outpatient keeps work, school and family going. Inpatient pauses them. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.
