Questions people ask about Ambrosia Treatment Center

Is Ambrosia Treatment Center residential or day treatment?

They provide inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Port Saint Lucie is set up for.

What does Ambrosia Treatment Center detox from?

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 6 places near Port Saint Lucie that do it.

Can Ambrosia Treatment Center handle a dual diagnosis?

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Port Saint Lucie may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Is Ambrosia Treatment Center an option for a veteran?

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Port Saint Lucie it may be mixed.

What is there in Port Saint Lucie that costs nothing?

Alongside this, Port Saint Lucie has 15 NA meetings and 113 free AA meetings.

Which medications does Ambrosia Treatment Center prescribe?

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 Port Saint Lucie offers both.

What should I be comparing?

Four questions separate most programs: who prescribes, what the step down is, what it costs, and who it is built for. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
