UMass Memorial Medical Center

They offer inpatient hospital, telemedicine, inpatient residential and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Worcester has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Worcester has 8 other centers to compare.

Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Worcester.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Worcester does.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Worcester, not all of them do.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Worcester.

A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Ask whether the center keeps treating you afterwards or hands you on.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Call (844) 822-5800 if a specific prescription is the thing making this complicated.
