Questions people ask about North Suffolk Community Services

What programs does North Suffolk Community Services offer?

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

Does North Suffolk Community Services offer a detox?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Chelsea is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

Can I do this by video instead?

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Chelsea often still has to be in person.

Does North Suffolk Community Services prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Chelsea, not all of them do.

Does North Suffolk Community Services have beds?

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Boston, under a mile away.

How long would I be in a program?

Days for a detox, weeks for a residential stay, months for outpatient care. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Call (844) 822-5800 to talk through which level of care fits what you are dealing with.

Will my treatment be kept private?

A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.

What happens to school?

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
