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

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Saint Paul does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Saint Paul.

The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Saint Paul, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

They offer a program for adult women, 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 Saint Paul has 8 other centers to ask.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.

Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.

Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
