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

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

They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Englewood.

Englewood has 142 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

It is the only one in that radius. Telemedicine is worth asking about where the nearest alternative is far.

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
