There are 3 more within a short drive of Lebanon, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Which medications does Ponessa Behavioral Health prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Lebanon offers both.
What does the court need from the program?
The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Keep your own record of every session attended.
Should I live at the center?
Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. Medical risk pushes toward inpatient care: withdrawal that needs supervision is not an outpatient problem. Ask for an assessment before anybody recommends a level of care to you.
Will my treatment be kept private?
The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. Insurance claims do create a record with the insurer, which is the usual route by which treatment becomes visible. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.
