Desoto County Treatment Center - Metro Treatment of Mississippi LP

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

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 Walls that do it.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Walls.

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Southaven has the nearest beds, 8.7 miles away.

The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Walls, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. Programs will usually ask what happened last time, and the answer shapes what they offer. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.

There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
