True North Recovery and Wellness

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Saint George has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Saint George is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Saint George it may be mixed.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, alongside programs for court referrals and mental health disorders, which is more than most places around Saint George name.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Saint George often still has to be in person.

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.

Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
