Brook Hospital - Dupont

They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient hospital, outpatient and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Louisville, 1 offers a bed.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Louisville.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Louisville, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Louisville has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Louisville has 337 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.

It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.

It is medical treatment for a medical condition, prescribed and monitored like any other. How long someone stays on a medication varies from months to years, and that decision belongs with a prescriber. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.
