Pathway Healthcare

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The nearest alternative is in Flowood, 3.5 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Jackson has 8 other centers to compare.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Jackson.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Jackson, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

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

What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. If you are driving yourself, ask where the car will sit, because some programs keep the keys. Ask whether there is a laundry, because the answer halves what you need to bring.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
