Safe Refuge

They treat people at outpatient and inpatient residential. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Carson offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Carson.

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 Carson.

Carson has 17 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. What gets reported is attendance and completion, not what you said in a session, unless the order says otherwise. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
