Rigel Recovery Services

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Parkersburg is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Marietta, 3.9 miles away.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Marietta has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Marietta has 8 other centers to ask.

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

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. Approval can arrive in stages, with the detox cleared while the level of care after it is still under review. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
