Astor Gillis LADC

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Ellsworth has 4 other centers within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ellsworth offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Ellsworth.

They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 4 centers near Ellsworth will.

Ellsworth has 14 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.

Anything from a week to a year, depending on what is being treated and how. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

Confidentiality here is unusually strong by law, and that is a different thing from nobody noticing. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
