Johnston Recovery Services

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

They handle detox for opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Clayton has 8 other centers to compare.

They prescribe 3 medications: methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Clayton.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Clayton differ on it.

Veterans are one of the 13 groups they offer a program for.

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

Programs expect family contact rather than tolerating it, though the amount is set by the person in treatment. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.
