Centerstone of Indiana Inc

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and New Castle has 1 other center within 14 miles.

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

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around New Castle does.

New Castle has 29 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from New Castle about a teenager is in the right place.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask the program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
