White Bird Clinic - Chrysalis Behavioral Health

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Eugene has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Eugene, under a mile away.

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

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 Eugene.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Eugene.

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.

There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.

Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. The longest lists tend to sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.
