Community Social Model Advocates Inc - Rose J Riordan Tranquility Village

They offer inpatient residential and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Atwater has 4 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Atwater that do it.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Atwater can mean one group rather than several.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Atwater.

There are 4 more within a short drive of Atwater, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.

Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.

The choice is normally made on medical risk and on what home looks like, in that order. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.
