New Directions Counseling/Chehalis

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

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Centralia, 4.2 miles away.

Chehalis has 7 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

4 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Chehalis.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Chehalis has 4 other centers to compare.

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

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. The longest lists sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.
