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

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

People dealing with past trauma are one of the 3 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

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 Mariposa.

Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
