Adult and Child Health - Garfield Park

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 3.1 miles away in Indianapolis.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Indianapolis.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Indianapolis offers both.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Indianapolis differ on it.

Two programs that read identically online often differ sharply once you ask about staffing. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. Approval can arrive in stages, with the detox cleared while the level of care after it is still under review. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
