Volunteer Behavioral Health

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Livingston is set up for.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Livingston offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Livingston has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

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

They do video appointments, which matters if Livingston is a drive for you.

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

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.

Outpatient keeps work, school and family going. Inpatient pauses them. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.
