Aegis Treatment Centers LLC

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The nearest alternative is in Stockton, 7.0 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They detox from opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 5 of the 8 centers near Lodi offer one at all.

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

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Lodi is set up for it.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Lodi often still has to be in person.

They prescribe 2 medications: methadone and buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Lodi.

Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.

A short list: id, insurance, medications, clothes, and the phone numbers you would not want to lose. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
