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

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

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Fargo specifically.

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Fargo has the nearest beds, about a mile away.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Fargo, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

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 Fargo.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. 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.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.
