St Bernards Five Rivers Medical Ctr - BreakThru Med Withdrawal Management

They provide inpatient hospital and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Pocahontas is set up for.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Pocahontas.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Pocahontas it may be mixed.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Pocahontas does.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Pocahontas that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

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

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Describe what is happening rather than the manageable version of it.

Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.
