Centerstone

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

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

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 Fayetteville.

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

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

What comes next is the question to ask on the way in, not on the way out. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Ask who to ring at two in the morning, and get the number written down.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
