Questions people ask about Spero
What programs does Spero offer?
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 Faribault is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Spero?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Owatonna, 2.5 miles away.
Who are the programs at Spero built for?
They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around Owatonna does.
How many options are within driving distance?
The nearest other center is 1.5 miles away, in Owatonna, and there are 4 inside 14 miles.
Are there free support meetings in Owatonna?
Owatonna has 15 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
What questions should I ask a center?
What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.
What will I actually pay?
Ask three centers and you will get three different figures, because they are pricing three different programs. Nonprofit and faith based programs sometimes cost a fraction of commercial rates, with longer waits attached. Ask for the itemized version rather than a single total, because the surprises sit in the line items.
Which level of care do I need?
Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. The higher level is not automatically the better one, and being placed above what you need is its own problem. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.
