Zumbro Valley Health Center Northgate

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

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Rochester, under a mile away.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 4 named here.

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is under a mile away in Rochester.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Rochester, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

It is a screening conversation: what is being used, how much, your health, and what you are covered for. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.

A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
