Questions people ask about La Frontera Center

What programs does La Frontera Center offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Tucson, 1 offers a bed.

Can you detox at La Frontera Center?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Tucson, about a mile away.

Is a diagnosis handled at La Frontera Center as well?

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 Tucson that is the part that varies.

Is there a program at La Frontera Center for people like me?

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 2 named here.

Does La Frontera Center offer appointments by video?

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

What is there in Tucson that costs nothing?

Alongside this, Tucson has 82 NA meetings and 680 free AA meetings.

Is there anything for the family?

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

Who finds out that I went to treatment?

Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.
