Advantage Behavioral Health Systems

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Monroe has 2 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and both centers near Monroe offer one at all.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 4 named here.

Alongside this, Monroe has 33 NA meetings and 10 free AA meetings.

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 Monroe offers both.

Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.

The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
