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

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of De Queen does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Court referrals are one of the 2 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in De Queen.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of De Queen has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
