AMS of Wisconsin LLC - Janesville

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Beloit is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Janesville has 8 other centers to compare.

Veterans are one of the 14 groups they offer a program for.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Janesville often still has to be in person.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Janesville that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Janesville.

A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Ask what the alumni side of it involves, because it is often the most useful free thing on offer.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Tell the program what the last attempt included, so this one can be different.
