Questions people ask about El Paso VA Main Campus

What treatment does El Paso VA Main Campus offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of El Paso, 2 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what El Paso VA Main Campus offers?

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 2.9 miles away in El Paso.

Is El Paso VA Main Campus an option for a veteran?

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside El Paso.

Which medications does El Paso VA Main Campus prescribe?

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to El Paso.

Can you stay overnight at El Paso VA Main Campus?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in El Paso.

Can El Paso VA Main Campus treat anxiety alongside addiction?

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in El Paso that is the part that varies.

What should I be comparing?

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

How long is the wait?

Detox beds turn over fastest because the stays are shortest. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
