Community Medical Services

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 5 centers within 14 miles of Minot, 1 offers a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Minot, 3.0 miles away.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Minot.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Minot does.

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 3.0 miles away in Minot.

The block you are offered and the time the work takes are two different things, and that is the honest answer. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
