Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital

They provide inpatient hospital and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Sullivan is set up for.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Sullivan that do it.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Sullivan are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Sullivan has 1 other center if the dates do not work.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 1 center near Sullivan, not all of them do.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Sullivan that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.
