Guidance Center of Lea County Inc

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

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Hobbs. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Hobbs has 1 other center to ask.

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Hobbs is worth confirming before you drive over.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Hobbs offers both.

Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
