Village South Inc

They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Miami, 2 offer a bed.

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 1.6 miles away in Miami.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 9 named here.

Miami has 47 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Miami are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Miami offers both.

Four questions separate most programs: who prescribes, what the step down is, what it costs, and who it is built for. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

They normally continue, and a prescriber at the program reviews the whole list on arrival. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.
