Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health

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

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 3 of the 8 centers near Arlington offer one at all.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Arlington has 8 other centers to ask.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Arlington, not all of them do.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Arlington.

Arlington has 34 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.

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. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
