CEAD Council DBA Hour House

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 10 miles away in Charleston.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Mattoon.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Mattoon has 7 other centers to compare.

Mattoon has 7 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Accreditation, staffing, medication policy and aftercare are the four that tell you most. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.

There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient sit between residential and standard outpatient care, at a few hours a day. Ask what the program length is and what happens if more time is needed.

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. Who you authorize, and what they are authorized to hear, are two separate choices on the same form. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.
