Questions people ask about Southern Peaks RTC
Is Southern Peaks RTC residential or day treatment?
They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Canon City is set up for.
Can you detox at Southern Peaks RTC?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Canon City offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Southern Peaks RTC?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Canon City about a teenager is in the right place.
What is there in Canon City that costs nothing?
Canon City has 6 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What special programs does Southern Peaks RTC offer?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, 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 Canon City has 2 other centers to ask.
Are there alternatives to Southern Peaks RTC?
2 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.6 miles away in Canon City.
Can I bring my own medication?
Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.
Is medication assisted treatment effective?
It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. Some programs are abstinence based by design and do not use medication at all, which is a real difference between centers. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.
