Questions people ask about SSTAR - Lifeline Program

What levels of care does SSTAR - Lifeline Program offer?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Fall River has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what SSTAR - Lifeline Program offers?

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Fall River. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

What special programs does SSTAR - Lifeline Program offer?

They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around Fall River does.

Who is SSTAR - Lifeline Program for?

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Fall River that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

Is medication assisted treatment available at SSTAR - Lifeline Program?

They prescribe 1 medication: methadone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Fall River.

Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?

They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.

What if this is not the first time?

It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to delay. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.

Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
