They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Markleeville is set up for.

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Markleeville. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 13 named here.

Nothing else serves Markleeville inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Markleeville.

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.

Inpatient is the higher level of care, and higher is not automatically better for everyone. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Ask for an assessment rather than a recommendation, then ask what the assessment found.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
