Family Counseling Center for Recovery - Southlake

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

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 Henrico, 7.0 miles away.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Richmond may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 4.6 miles away in Richmond.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Richmond.

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Interactions are the reason the list is asked for, particularly with anything sedating. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.

Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. If you are driving yourself, ask where the car will sit, because some programs keep the keys. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.
