They are set up for 5 levels: inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Kansas City, 4 offer a bed.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Kansas City, not all of them do.

What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.

The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.
