Ridge House Inc - Carlin HOPE

They are set up for 2 levels: inpatient residential and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Reno, 3 offer a bed.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Reno is the nearest place that does it, 1.8 miles away.

They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Reno has 8 other centers.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Reno.

One of their programs is built for LGBTQ clients, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 8 named here.

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Free meetings, a prescriber and a weekly session are the usual three pieces of a plan that holds. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.

Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient sit between residential and standard outpatient care, at a few hours a day. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.

A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Read what you sign at intake, because the release is in that stack.
