8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Saint Paul.

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

Saint Paul has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.

The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
