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

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Willits does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Willits.

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 Willits.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Willits has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. If you want someone kept informed, sign the release early rather than during a crisis.

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
