8 Oaks

They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Westpoint is set up for.

No. There is no detox listed near Westpoint at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.

There are 3 more within a short drive of Westpoint, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Westpoint.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Westpoint has 3 other centers to compare.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
