Questions people ask about County of Imperial
Is County of Imperial residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in El Centro is set up for.
Can you detox at County of Imperial?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in El Centro, about a mile away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at County of Imperial?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 5 centers near El Centro, not all of them do.
Is telehealth available at County of Imperial?
They do video appointments, which matters if El Centro is a drive for you.
Is there a program at County of Imperial for people like me?
They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around El Centro does.
Can I bring my own medication?
What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.
Does my employer find out?
Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
What if there is no space?
Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
