Common Ground

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

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

Rochester has 12 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

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

They offer a program for adult women, which not every center around Rochester does.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Rochester.

The rule covers the first phone call too, before you are a patient and whether or not you ever become one. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. A different level of care is often the right response rather than a repeat of the same program. Tell the program what the last attempt included, so this one can be different.
