CleanSlate Centers

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

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Mesa, 2.9 miles away.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Gilbert can mean one group rather than several.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Gilbert has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

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 Gilbert offers both.

What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.

Going back into treatment is normal, and most centers treat people who have been through it before. A different level of care is often the right response rather than a repeat of the same program. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.
