Circles of Care Inc

They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

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

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Rockledge offers both.

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

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Rockledge may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Stopping a psychiatric medication abruptly can cause real harm, which is why this is never a decision to make alone. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.

Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Ask for an assessment before anybody recommends a level of care to you.

The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
