What is there in Shelby that costs nothing?
Shelby has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does my employer find out?
Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
Will I lose my job?
You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
