New Paths Inc

They treat people at inpatient residential, outpatient 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 Flint, 1.5 miles away.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Flint it may be mixed.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Flint has 8 other centers to ask.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Flint can mean one group rather than several.

Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.

The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.

Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.
