Canvas Health Inc - Cottage Grove

They offer inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Cottage Grove has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Inver Grove Heights, 5.9 miles away.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 5.6 miles away in Hastings.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Cottage Grove often still has to be in person.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Cottage Grove it may be mixed.

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Cottage Grove about a teenager is in the right place.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.

One place can take somebody today and another in the same town is a month out. The longest lists sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
