COVID-19 Updates

In response to COVID-19 and social distancing protocols, our staff is working remotely to authorize treatment services, plan and arrange for prevention activities and continue administrative operations, including processing provider invoices. 

The health and safety of our staff and community is our top priority. Our response and the precautionary measures we have taken are to help combat the spread of this disease and to mitigate anyone’s exposure to COVID-19. The COCA office will remain closed. As this is a rapidly evolving situation, we will continue to closely monitor updates on COVID-19 and follow the guidance of the CDC regarding social distancing and related safety measures.

We will maintain and update our website with information regarding treatment and supportive services.

The following updates have been made in response:
