Compass Health

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Wentzville has 6 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Wentzville, 3.7 miles away.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Wentzville.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Wentzville has 6 other centers and not all of them do.

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 Wentzville.

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Ask for the itemized version rather than a single total, because the surprises sit in the line items.

Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Stopping a psychiatric medication abruptly can cause real harm, which is why this is never a decision to make alone. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.

Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. A diagnosis made while someone is still using can be wrong, so assessment often waits until after detox. Bring the existing diagnosis and the name of whoever currently treats it.
