San Luis Valley

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

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Alamosa is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is under a mile away in Alamosa.

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 Alamosa.

Veterans are one of the 12 groups they offer a program for.

Ask three centers and you will get three different figures, because they are pricing three different programs. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.

Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.

The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. Anything a prescriber gave you should travel with its label attached, because an unlabeled container is usually refused. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
