Centennial Peaks Hospital

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

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

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Louisville are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Louisville has 8 other centers to ask.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Louisville.

Louisville has 10 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.
