CNS Healthcare

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Detroit is set up for.

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

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Detroit often still has to be in person.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Detroit specifically.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Detroit, not all of them do.

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.

A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Many programs start the paperwork while you wait, so the day a bed opens is not lost to admissions. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
