St Johns Recovery Place

They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Crescent City is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Crescent City.

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Crescent City cover.

Nothing else serves Crescent City inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Crescent City.

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. Where medication is part of the plan, the handover to a community prescriber is the gap to watch. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.
