Spokane Regional Health District - Treatment Services

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

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

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Spokane it may be mixed.

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

Spokane has 137 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Four questions separate most programs: who prescribes, what the step down is, what it costs, and who it is built for. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
