RASE Substance Abuse Services Inc - RASE Project Kissimmee/CFCHS

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is under a mile away in Kissimmee.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Kissimmee is set up for it.

They prescribe buprenorphine, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Kissimmee.

Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Kissimmee.

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. Call (844) 822-5800 if the program has ended and nothing was arranged.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Ask what they hold at the door and when you get it back.
