They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Brazil is set up for.

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Brazil. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Brazil.

They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Brazil offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.

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 Brazil.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.
