Axis I Center of Barnwell

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

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

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 Barnwell offers both.

It is on its own in this part of SC, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Barnwell is something they handle.

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. Outpatient care often continues for months after a residential stay, at a few hours a week. Ask whether the aftercare is run by the program or handed to somebody else.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. 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.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
