Ford Street Project

They offer inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Ukiah has 4 other centers within 14 miles.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Ukiah has 4 other centers to compare.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Ukiah.

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 Ukiah.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is the only one named here.

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. Book the first follow up appointment before leaving rather than after.

What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

The documents matter: identification, insurance details, and anything a prescriber has written for you. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
