Gateway Community Services Inc - Girls Recovery Center

They offer inpatient residential and outpatient. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Jacksonville, 1.6 miles away.

They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Jacksonville will.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Jacksonville has 8 other centers to ask.

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 Jacksonville.

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.

The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.

Photo id, your insurance card, and a list of every medication you take with the doses. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.
