They provide outpatient, inpatient residential and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Hazlehurst is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Hazlehurst that do it.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Hazlehurst are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Hazlehurst.

Veterans are one of the 10 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.

The short version is a prescribed medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal, taken under supervision. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.
