Crossroads Turning Points Inc

They provide outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Alamosa is set up for.

They provide detox for 5 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Alamosa has 4 other centers.

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Alamosa about a teenager is in the right place.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Alamosa.

A phased return on reduced hours is a normal accommodation, and it is easier to agree before the leave than after it. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
