San Luis Valley

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

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

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in San Luis.

They do video appointments, which matters if San Luis is a drive for you.

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 San Luis.

It is a screening conversation: what is being used, how much, your health, and what you are covered for. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. That rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it, which is worth knowing when you weigh it. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.

One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.
