Catholic Community Services - Recovery Center/Burlington

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Mount Vernon, 2.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Burlington, under a mile away.

They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Burlington will.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Burlington does.

Burlington has 3 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.

The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.
