Gateway Foundation

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

They provide detox for 5 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Springfield has 8 other centers.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Springfield are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Springfield, not all of them do.

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Springfield is worth confirming before you drive over.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Springfield does.

Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.

The rule covers the first phone call too, before you are a patient and whether or not you ever become one. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
