| DOES J-CAP OFFER A DETOX SERVICE? |
J-CAP offers buprenorphine medical service at its NYS Department of Health Article 28 Medical Unit. This medically supervised service targets individuals who are dependent on prescription opiate drugs (i.e. oxycodone, codeine, and morphine) as well as illegal street drugs such as heroin. Clients are medically assessed, treated and monitored daily by medical and nursing staff specially trained in the use of buprenorphine. Mental health status is also evaluated. Once buprenorphine therapy is completed, continuation of drug treatment may be recommended to address the psychological and social issues associated with drug addiction.
| HOW LONG WILL I OR MY LOVED ONE BE IN DRUG TREATMENT AT J-CAP’S RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM? |
Based on each person’s needs, an individualized treatment plan is developed after a client has been assessed by J-CAP staff. This treatment plan is adjusted periodically as goals are met or new needs surface. It is difficult to put an exact time limit on a person’s recovery, but we have found that most clients are in residential treatment from 6 to12 months.
