Frontier Health - Adventure Program

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Johnson City has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Johnson City is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Johnson City has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adolescents, court referrals and past trauma.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Johnson City does.

The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.

The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.

It is medical treatment for a medical condition, prescribed and monitored like any other. Some programs are abstinence based by design and do not use medication at all, which is a real difference between centers. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.
