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

They provide detox for 2 substances: opioids and benzodiazepines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Menlo Park has 8 other centers.

Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Menlo Park.

Menlo Park has 17 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Menlo Park.

The number follows the level of care, and that is not something a listing page can judge for you. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.

Court ordered treatment is routine, and programs that take it are used to the paperwork. Where child welfare is involved, the reporting is usually wider and the timelines are tighter. Confirm the program is on the approved list before the first session rather than after it.

The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.
