Richard Hall CHWC - OPD IOP and Recovery Supports

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 5.9 miles away in Middlesex.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Bridgewater.

Bridgewater has 38 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Bridgewater has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Look up the free family groups in Bridgewater as well, because they outlast any program.

Three medications sit under that phrase, and which one suits someone is a clinical decision. How long someone stays on a medication varies from months to years, and that decision belongs with a prescriber. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.

Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Call (844) 822-5800 if you need to know what a particular program expects on arrival.
