Questions people ask about Caminar
Is Caminar inpatient or outpatient?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Palo Alto, 3 offer a bed.
Is detox part of what Caminar offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Palo Alto, 1.6 miles away.
Is there a residential program at Caminar?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Palo Alto.
What other centers are nearby?
Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Menlo Park, Redwood City and Mountain View.
Who are the programs at Caminar built for?
They offer a program for adult women, which not every center around Palo Alto does.
How many weeks is a program?
Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.
Is there a waiting list?
One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. Widening the search past your own county usually shortens the wait, because availability is uneven between neighboring areas. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.
Do I have to tell my employer?
There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
