Do I have to come in person to Worcester County Health Department?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Ocean City.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.
Do I have to tell my employer?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
