LifeSpring Health Systems

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

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Clarksville, 2.0 miles away.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to New Albany.

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 New Albany.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Clarksville is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. Ask what the alumni side of it involves, because it is often the most useful free thing on offer.

Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.

Most residential programs are built around 30 days, which is a billing convention more than a clinical finding. 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.
