STARS Nashville TX/Recovery

They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Nashville, 4 offer a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Nashville, under a mile away.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Nashville may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Nashville has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Nashville.

The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. The call can end with nothing booked, and often does. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Call (844) 822-5800 if you need to know what a particular program expects on arrival.
