It starts with a short assessment: the substance, the pattern, your health, and where you live. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.

Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.

Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
