Berkeley Addiction Treatment Services

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Berkeley, 5 offer a bed.

They detox from opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 4 of the 8 centers near Berkeley offer one at all.

The nearest other center is 1.7 miles away, in Berkeley, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

Berkeley has 40 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Berkeley, not all of them do.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.

What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.

Frequently yes, and the level of care decides it more than the employer does. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
