Crossroads Turning Points Inc

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Trinidad has 1 other center within 14 miles.

They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around Trinidad does.

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

They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 1 center near Trinidad will.

Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. An employer that funds its own plan follows different rules from a state regulated one, and that changes who hears an appeal. Have your member id with you when you call, because nothing can be checked without it.
