Minnesota Teen Challenge

They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Alexandria offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 13 named programs at this address.

Alongside this, Alexandria has 6 NA meetings and 13 free AA meetings.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Alexandria, because a wide age range often still means one room.

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. Have your member id with you when you call, because nothing can be checked without it.

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Some programs are abstinence based by design and do not use medication at all, which is a real difference between centers. Ask how long the medication is expected to continue, and who reviews it.
