Mercy Medical Clinic

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

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

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Corbin does.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Corbin is set up for it.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Corbin.

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

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. A diagnosis made while someone is still using can be wrong, so assessment often waits until after detox. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.
