Questions people ask about Axis Health System
Which levels of care does Axis Health System have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Cortez is set up for.
Can you detox at Axis Health System?
They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Cortez does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.
Do I have to come in person to Axis Health System?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Cortez.
Are there other options nearby?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Cortez, so the next option is a longer drive.
Are there free support meetings in Cortez?
Cortez has 5 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Can Axis Health System treat someone who does not speak English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Cortez are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
How long does treatment take?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.
What do I need to have with me on day one?
Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. Anything a prescriber gave you should travel with its label attached, because an unlabeled container is usually refused. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
