Florence Treatment Specialists

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and detox. Of the 6 centers within 14 miles of Florence, 2 offer a bed.

There are 6 more within a short drive of Florence, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Florence send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Florence, 3.3 miles away.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Florence can mean one group rather than several.

What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.

Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. 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.

For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Not every center is licensed for every medication, so what is on offer varies more than the clinical picture does. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.
