Crossroads Treatment Center - Greenville PC

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

They detox from opioids. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 3 places near Greenville that do it.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Greenville has 8 other centers to try.

Greenville has 95 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Greenville.

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. How long someone stays on a medication varies from months to years, and that decision belongs with a prescriber. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.

A bed is not something anyone can hold for you on a maybe, which is most of why lists exist. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
