David Lawrence Center

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

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Immokalee. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

They do video appointments, which matters if Immokalee is a drive for you.

Veterans are one of the 3 groups they offer a program for.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Immokalee are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.

Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. Ask whether the medication can start during detox or only after it ends.

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
