Community Alternative Inc/Comm Choices - Cascade at Durham

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Durham has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Durham, about a mile away.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Durham.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Durham.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Durham.

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

The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. Anything a prescriber gave you should travel with its label attached, because an unlabeled container is usually refused. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.

There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
