They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Yuba City is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They provide detox for 5 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Marysville has 7 other centers.

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

There are 7 more within a short drive of Marysville, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

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

Plenty of programs accept referrals from a court, a probation officer or a child welfare agency. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

They normally continue, and a prescriber at the program reviews the whole list on arrival. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Ask what is available this week, not just what the program is.
