Pike County Recovery Council

They offer inpatient residential and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Waverly has 3 other centers within 14 miles.

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

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Waverly.

Waverly has 3 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

People who are pregnant or just postpartum are one of the 6 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Marketing language is nearly identical across the field, so the comparison has to be made on specifics. 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.

Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.
