They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Howell 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 Brighton, 2.3 miles away.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Brighton is set up for it.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.9 miles away in Brighton.

Brighton has 48 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.

Think documents and medication first, comforts second. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
