They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Cottage Grove has 1 other center within 14 miles.

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

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 Cottage Grove.

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

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Cottage Grove.

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Distance from home cuts both ways: far enough to break a pattern, near enough for family to take part. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
