They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Lexington has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Lexington differ on it.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Lexington, because a wide age range often still means one room.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Lexington, under a mile away.

It is the stretch after discharge, and it tends to decide whether the program holds. Where medication is part of the plan, the handover to a community prescriber is the gap to watch. Ask whether the center keeps treating you afterwards or hands you on.

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. Deductibles reset each year, so the timing of an admission changes the number. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
