Health Connect America

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Decherd is set up for.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Decherd does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Decherd has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

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 Decherd.

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Decherd about a teenager is in the right place.

Aftercare is the step down: less intensive, longer lasting, and often the difference that lasts. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Ask whether the aftercare is run by the program or handed to somebody else.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
