They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Takoma Park is set up for.

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

People who are pregnant or just postpartum are one of the 5 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Takoma Park has 8 other centers to try.

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

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Takoma Park has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Two programs that read identically online often differ sharply once you ask about staffing. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.

Think documents and medication first, comforts second. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
