Alcohol and Drug Dep Services of SE IA

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

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

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Wapello is worth confirming before you drive over.

There is nothing else within 14 miles of Wapello, so the next option is a longer drive.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Wapello.

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.

Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
