Gateway Community Services Inc - Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

They offer inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Jacksonville has 8 other centers to compare.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Jacksonville often still has to be in person.

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

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 2.2 miles away in Jacksonville.

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.

What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
