Christian Family Solutions

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

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Neenah, 5.2 miles away.

They do video appointments, which matters if Appleton is a drive for you.

They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Appleton will.

Appleton has 19 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Appleton.

The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Ask for an assessment rather than a recommendation, then ask what the assessment found.

There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
