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

Brainerd has 12 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Brainerd.

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

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Brainerd has the nearest beds, under a mile away.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.

There is often something available sooner at a different level of care than the one you called about. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
