Hudson Hospital and Clinics

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

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

They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Hudson has 8 other centers.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Hudson, 5.0 miles away.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Stillwater, River Falls and Saint Paul.

What comes next is the question to ask on the way in, not on the way out. Nothing booked for the first week back is the most common gap in a discharge plan. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.

Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Not every center has a prescriber for psychiatric medication, and that is a concrete difference to ask about. Ask how often you would see a prescriber, not only whether one exists.

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
