Why is this program different than being treated by an office based private physician that prescribes Suboxone® and other detox drugs?

Seeing a private physician for Suboxone treatment provides you only with a written prescription for the medication - and nothing else.  It only takes a physician 8 hours of training to be certified to prebcribe Suboxone®, therefore most prescribers have little or no practical experience dealing with addiction medicine or the disease of addiction.  Also, there is very little instruction and counseling is usualy not given.  At NBD you recieve a host of services including psychosocial assessment, medical examination and assessment, weekly drug screens, telephone support, counseling sessions, and a whole clinical team managing your detox.  Most of our staff members are in long term recovery and are able to incorporate their vast knowledge and experience. 

Why does the detox take 6-8 weeks?

A 6-8 week taper results in a "soft landing" that dramatically reduces the typical discomfort and withdrawal symptoms.  In many cases, patients report that discomfort was virtually  nonexistent.

Will I need other types of medications?

Patients are prescribed safe and effective medications that quickly and virtually eliminate the symptoms of withdrawal, including anxiety, sleeplessness as well as debilitating aches and pains normally associated with drug withdrawal.

Why do I need Out-Patient Counseling?

Extensive experience indicates that detoxification alone only eliminates the drug usage or the "symptom" of the underlying problem.  The counseling establishes a baseline for a long term recovery process.  In other words, NBD begins to address the "why" of how you got to be an alcoholic or addict.  This is a critical step in learning how to live you life drug free.

How long is the Out-Patient Counseling program?

The Out-Patient Counseling program is 18, 36 or 72 hours lasts for 4 to 8 weeks depending on the program.

Is the Out-Patient Counseling done after the detox?

No, the Out-Patient Counseling runs concurrent with the first 6 weeks of the detox and then 2 additional weeks after the detox is complete with the Intensive Out-Patient Program (IOP).

What happens after the 6 - 8 week therapy program is over?

NBD recommends patients continue to be engaged in the recovery process by attending 12 step programs and maintain a high degree of accountability.  Patients can then continue to attend groups at reduced cost per group session for Follow Up care indefinitely.  Individual counseling is also available and optional.

How much does the detox cost?

NBD programs have variable components which varies the cost.  Just as everyone’s drug and alcohol dependency is different, so too is their treatment. The NBD programs are significantly less expensive than most “in patient” facilities.  In just a few minutes we can outline the entire program and its cost.  There is no obligation, and if you are serious about living a “drug free” life give us a call at 877-338-6988. NBD counselors are always available to talk about a loved one, friend, relative, etc. and our conversations are confidential.

What all is included in the detox price?

Included in the price is the initial visit with the physician, prescriptions for safe and effective medications to reduce symptoms of withdrawal, including anxiety, sleeplessness and debilitating aches and pains normally associated with detoxification.   All follow up visits in detox period with NBD physicians or clinicians, telephone support, monitoring of patient's progress.   The cost of medications is NOT included in the cost.

How often does the Out-Patient Counseling program meet?

The Out-Patient Counseling Program currently meets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday

The groups have 2 different therapy options:

1 - DAY OPTION - meets M/W/F - 9:00 – 12:00 noon

2 - NIGHT OPTION – meets M/W/F - 6:00 – 9:00 PM

Depending on the program you choose, you meet either once, twice or three times per week.

How is your program different than In-Patient treatment and In-Patient detoxification?

First, the programs are a fraction of the cost of most In-Patient treatment programs.  Most In-Patient detoxification units provide little or only a minimum amount of counseling with no follow up care.  In-Patient treatment programs teach recovery in a sheltered environment.  Upon completion, the newly recovered patient steps into the real word in a fragile state. In the NBD program, you detox in the real world, can continue to work or stay in school,  but you have a host of recovery related activities including support groups, counseling sessions, clinical support and follow up care.  You don't have to give up 7-10 days for in patient detox followed by 28 days in treatment and "check out" - which in many cases means losing a job or results in a major life change.
