They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Higginsville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

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

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Concordia send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Concordia specifically.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Concordia often still has to be in person.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Concordia offers both.

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Ask whether the aftercare is run by the program or handed to somebody else.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.
