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 Dubuque is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Dubuque, 13 miles away.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 3 centers near Galena, not all of them do.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Galena has 3 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

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

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

Plenty of programs accept referrals from a court, a probation officer or a child welfare agency. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Ask who signs the completion paperwork and how long it takes.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Ask whether there is a laundry, because the answer halves what you need to bring.
