LSSI

They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Chicago, 2.3 miles away.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chicago.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Chicago may not have a second place set up for it.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Chicago specifically.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.

One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a call can answer it. A list quoted in weeks can shorten without warning, so being reachable matters. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.
