They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Keosauqua is set up for.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Keosauqua offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They do video appointments, which matters if Keosauqua is a drive for you.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Keosauqua.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 3 named here.

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

The two feed each other, which is why handling them separately tends to work badly. Not every center has a prescriber for psychiatric medication, and that is a concrete difference to ask about. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Ask what the aftercare looks like, because its absence is a common gap.
