Compass Health

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

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

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

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 Lopez Island.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Lopez Island has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.

Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.

Think documents and medication first, comforts second. Chargers, razors and anything with a cord are often held and signed out when needed rather than kept in the room. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
