Recovery Works - Elizabethtown

They are set up for 4 levels: inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Elizabethtown, 4 offer a bed.

They detox from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 2 places near Elizabethtown that do it.

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 Elizabethtown it may be mixed.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Elizabethtown may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Elizabethtown has 8 other centers to try.

The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.

A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
