Darke County Recovery Services

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 Richmond 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 Eaton, 2.0 miles away.

The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Eaton, and there are 3 inside 14 miles.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Eaton are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 3 centers near Eaton differ on it.

Days for a detox, weeks for a residential stay, months for outpatient care. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.

The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.

Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
