Kaiser Permanente - Addiction Medicine and Recovery Servs

They offer inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

They detox from opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Union City offer one at all.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Union City.

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

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Union City has 8 other centers to ask.

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

The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Ask for an assessment before anybody recommends a level of care to you.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. If a license or a clearance is involved, get advice specific to your profession.
