UnityPlace - Tazwood Center for Wellness

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 East Peoria is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Peoria, 8.6 miles away.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Pekin.

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Pekin about a teenager is in the right place.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Pekin has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

They prescribe buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Pekin, not all of them do.

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. An alumni group, a weekly session and a prescriber are the three pieces most plans are built from. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.

The rule covers the first phone call too, before you are a patient and whether or not you ever become one. Who you authorize, and what they are authorized to hear, are two separate choices on the same form. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.
