Centre

They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and East Grand Forks 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 1.7 miles away in East Grand Forks.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Grand Forks are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Grand Forks that often means one room rather than two.

Grand Forks has 16 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Tell the program what the last attempt included, so this one can be different.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
