Is medication assisted treatment available at Veterans Affairs Medical Center?

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 Albuquerque.

Is Veterans Affairs Medical Center an option for a veteran?

Veterans are one of the 5 groups they offer a program for.

Is treatment expensive?

There is no price on this site, because what a program costs depends on the level of care and on your plan. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. Ask for the itemized version rather than a single total, because the surprises sit in the line items.

What if this is not the first time?

A recurrence is a reason to adjust the plan rather than evidence that treatment is pointless. A recurrence after a long gap and one in the first week are different problems with different answers. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
