River Edge Behavioral Health - Addictive Disease Outpatient Program

They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Macon has 5 other centers within 14 miles.

They handle detox for opioids and alcohol. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Macon has 5 other centers to compare.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Macon has 5 other centers and not all of them do.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Macon has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

There are 5 more within a short drive of Macon, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Where medication is part of the plan, the handover to a community prescriber is the gap to watch. Ask what the discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

It depends which level of care you are asking about, because they run on different clocks. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Less than you think, and the medication list matters more than the clothes. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Ask what they hold at the door and when you get it back.
