Questions to ask Community Medical Services

- Which medications do you prescribe (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), and can I continue a medication I already take?
- Is there a waitlist, and how soon can you do an assessment?
- What happens after the program ends: aftercare, alumni groups or step-down care?
