Shawnee Healthcare

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 Carterville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

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

They offer a program for adult women, which not every center around Carbondale does.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Carbondale.

The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.

The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.
