They are set up for 4 levels: inpatient hospital, outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Scottsdale, 3 offer a bed.

The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
