Social Science Services Inc - Cedar House Life Change Center

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

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 3 places near Bloomington that do it.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Bloomington has 8 other centers to try.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Bloomington does.

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 Bloomington.

The nearest other center is 2.3 miles away, in Fontana, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. A center's billing office can often check a plan faster than the insurer's own line will. Ask whether the center bills your plan directly or expects you to claim it back afterward.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
