Groups Recover Together

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

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Columbus, 4.1 miles away.

They prescribe buprenorphine, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Columbus.

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

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

The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.

Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.

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 program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
