North Oakland Counseling Associates

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Clarkston, 3 offer a bed.

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 4.7 miles away in Waterford.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Clarkston.

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 14 things they offer a named program for.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Clarkston.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.

Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. What was learned the first time usually shapes a better plan the second. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
