Mountain Comprehensive Care Center

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

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

There are 8 more within a short drive of Morehead, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Morehead.

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

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. Ask who to ring at two in the morning, and get the number written down.

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.

A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.
