Lesprit Behavioral Health Center

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Livingston has 2 other centers within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Livingston offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They prescribe buprenorphine, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Livingston.

They offer a program for court referrals, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Livingston has 2 other centers to ask.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Livingston.

Having both is the ordinary case, and the programs built for it are described as integrated. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.

The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. A different level of care is often the right response rather than a repeat of the same program. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
