NorthShore Health Centers

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Valparaiso is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Valparaiso, 8.3 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 Chesterton.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Chesterton that is the part that varies.

Chesterton has 14 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Nobody prices this from a listing. It turns on the level of care, the length, and what a plan is willing to approve. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.

They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. Describe the house you would be going back to, because that is the detail that decides it.

Think documents and medication first, comforts second. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
