Are there free support meetings in Fall River?
Alongside this, Fall River has 16 NA meetings and 47 free AA meetings.
Will a program make me come off my medication?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Interactions are the reason the list is asked for, particularly with anything sedating. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.
How many weeks is a program?
Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask what happens on the last day, and what gets arranged before it.
What if there is no space?
Availability changes week to week, which is why no listing page can tell you. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Keep the phone on. Beds are offered at short notice and go quickly.
