Elevate Youth Services

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 Montpelier is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Barre offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Barre has 2 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Barre has 2 other centers to compare.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Barre.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.

Nobody prices this from a listing. It turns on the level of care, the length, and what a plan is willing to approve. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
