Pinelands Recovery Center of Medford

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 Marlton is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Medford.

Medford has 10 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around Medford does.

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 Medford has 8 other centers to try.

The two feed each other, which is why handling them separately tends to work badly. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.

The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.
