Healing Arts Research Training Ctr

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

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Memphis does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Memphis has 8 other centers to compare.

Memphis has 398 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Memphis.

The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. The first two weeks are usually the most intensive part of whatever you choose. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. Ask for an assessment before anybody recommends a level of care to you.
