Nova Counseling Associates Inc

They offer outpatient and inpatient residential. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Big Rapids has 1 other center within 14 miles.

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

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Big Rapids cover.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Big Rapids may not have a second place set up for it.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Big Rapids.

Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. Ask what the deposit is and whether any of it comes back if the program ends early.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
