MFI Recovery Center - Arlington Recov Comm and Sobering Ctr

They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Riverside, 5 offer a bed.

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

Riverside has 26 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Riverside may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

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

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Riverside.

Accreditation, staffing, medication policy and aftercare are the four that tell you most. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
