FCC Behavioral Health

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

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Winona. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

Nothing else serves Winona inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.

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 Winona.

They do video appointments, which matters if Winona is a drive for you.

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.

There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
