Advantage Behavioral Health Systems - Jackson County Clinic

They offer inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Jefferson has 2 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Jefferson.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Jefferson has 2 other centers to ask.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Jefferson.

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Jefferson has 2 other centers if this one cannot.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Jefferson.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary calls an intake line takes. The level of care that fits now may not be the one that fit before. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.
