Project Chesapeake

They provide inpatient residential, outpatient and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Edgewood is set up for.

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 Edgewood has 8 other centers to compare.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Edgewood has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Edgewood.

Edgewood has 22 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The call can end with nothing booked, and often does. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.

In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. An out of network center can still be partly covered, and the difference lands on you. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary calls an intake line takes. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
