Volunteer Behavioral Health

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

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Lebanon. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around Lebanon does.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Lebanon.

They prescribe naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Lebanon offers both.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Mount Juliet is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.

Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
