Frequently Asked Questions

No. You are making a responsible choice to stop using illicit drugs.  You are making an educated decision to let a trained, medical team provide an array of rehabilitative services and supervise your recovery journey therapeutically.  You are making smart choices so that you do not experience painful and life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, and so that you can return to a stable and functional lifestyle.

We do not work against you in parole and probation.  In fact, we have a positive relationship with those offices to help you, if you want us to.  We follow stricter guidelines than HIPAA and keep your information confidential.  IF you sign a consent and CHOOSE for us to talk to your probation or parole officer, we will be glad to work with you as you demonstrate accountability in your recovery.

Currently, we charge $13 a day for Methadone and $20 a day for Buprenorphine.  Intake is $100 for both treatment options..  There are no hidden fees so you should not have to pay for additional drug screening, counseling, or visits with our physician beyond the admission fee.  It is really simple: $13/day for MTD and $20/day for BUP.    We may be able to offer BUP to you at no cost.  We are working on being able to accept Medicare, Medicaid, and select insurances.  It is a long process, but we are making progress.

Everyone who decides to get help for their Opioid Use Disorder has options.  We are an option.  OBOT services allow certain physicians to prescribe buprenorphine that you take on your own.  For some people, that works.  

We are different.  Not only do we provide you with the medication, we are an outpatient service center called OTP (outpatient treatment program).  We take a holistic approach to your recovery.  

We offer counseling as often as you need it at no extra cost to you.  We offer a physician visit at least once per year and a nurse visit every time you come in our door.  We provide urine drug screens.  We offer all of these services and develop a treatment plan with real, measurable, and attainable goals.  Our counseling helps you understand the WHY of your dependency.  We work with community partners to help you if you need housing, clothing, food, parenting classes, and a variety of other needs you may have.  You're not a patient here; you become family.  In our treatment program, you will not be alone; you will find friends who are like you: in the void between dependency and freedom. and on a successful road to recovery.  Having that partnership can be the difference between success and failure.

So why choose us?  If you need comprehensive care and want the BEST chance of success at overcoming your drug dependency, we are the premium choice.  Come see the difference we can make at AARS.

We have applied for Medicare/Medicaid and insurance acceptance; however, while we wait on it, we will be happy to print a patient record of payment and attendance and submit it to your insurance to get reimbursement if your insurance company allows that.

Our nurse is available to dose from 6:15am to 10:00am Monday through Saturday.  Please arrive by 9:30am M-F to ensure that the nurse has time to get your dose.

Absolutely!  We would love to meet your people!  We want to know about your life and we know that a strong support system aids in recovery.  We are happy to educate and support you and your family!
