A directory is a starting point and a short one. Three things decide most of it and none of them can be published accurately. A center that has stopped taking a plan is the most common kind of stale listing, because networks change yearly. Confirm the level of care and the coverage with the center itself before traveling anywhere.

Methadone is dispensed through licensed clinics, usually daily at first. Buprenorphine can be prescribed in an ordinary office. Coverage for these medications is broad, though prior authorization is common and takes a few days. Ask what the first week of dosing looks like, and how often somebody has to attend.

The first week is the hardest one to be far from home and the fourth is often the easiest. Ask what a center expects about family visits before committing to the distance.
