Questions people ask about Presbyterian Medical Services

What treatment does Presbyterian Medical Services offer?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Ruidoso is set up for.

Does Presbyterian Medical Services offer a detox?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ruidoso offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Does Presbyterian Medical Services prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

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 Ruidoso.

Can Presbyterian Medical Services handle a court referral?

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Ruidoso send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

Is there a residential program at Presbyterian Medical Services?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Ruidoso has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

What is aftercare?

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.

Will they take my medication away?

Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

Is treatment covered by insurance?

Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. A plan tends to approve a level of care in blocks of days, then review whether to carry on. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.
