Tu Casa

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

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Silver City that do it.

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

Silver City has 13 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Silver City has 2 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. The objection that it swaps one drug for another misses the mechanism: a stable prescribed dose does not produce a high and does not escalate.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
