Compass Health

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Columbia has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Columbia, about a mile away.

People who are pregnant or just postpartum are one of the 6 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Columbia has 20 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Columbia has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.

Outpatient care usually starts within days. A residential bed can be immediate or weeks out. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.

Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
