Questions people ask about Northeast Occupational Exchange Inc

Is Northeast Occupational Exchange Inc residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Bangor is set up for.

Is detox part of what Northeast Occupational Exchange Inc offers?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Bangor offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Are there other centers near Northeast Occupational Exchange Inc?

It is on its own in this part of ME, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.

Can a 16 year old be treated at Northeast Occupational Exchange Inc?

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

Can I do this by video instead?

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

What is there in Bangor that costs nothing?

Bangor has 17 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Will they take my medication away?

They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.

Is medication part of treatment?

The short version is a prescribed medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal, taken under supervision. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can find programs that use the medication you are asking about.
