Apex Recovery

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and inpatient residential. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Brentwood, 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 under a mile away in Brentwood.

Brentwood has 27 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around Brentwood does.

They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Brentwood.

It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

It is a prescription that steadies the ground while the rest of the treatment happens. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.
