VA Illiana Healthcare System

They provide outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Danville is set up for.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Danville has 3 other centers to compare.

Veterans are one of the 2 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Danville has 4 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 3 centers near Danville, not all of them do.

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
