Augusta Metro Treatment Center

They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Augusta, 4 offer a bed.

They detox from opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Augusta.

Alongside this, Augusta has 17 NA meetings and 19 free AA meetings.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Augusta.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Augusta.

A mental health condition alongside substance use is the common case rather than the complicated one. Psychiatric medication and treatment medication can usually be managed together by the same team. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.

In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.
