Park Avenue Center

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Minneapolis has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

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

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 7 things they offer a named program for.

They prescribe buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Minneapolis, not all of them do.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Minneapolis that often means one room rather than two.

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. The higher level is not automatically the better one, and being placed above what you need is its own problem. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
