Ujima Family Recovery Services - Ujima Central

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 Walnut Creek is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

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 2.9 miles away in Concord.

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

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

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Concord.

No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Concord offers it.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.
