Questions people ask about Axis Health System
What treatment does Axis Health System offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Telluride is set up for.
Does Axis Health System offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Telluride offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is Axis Health System an option for someone under 18?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Telluride is worth confirming before you drive over.
Can Axis Health System handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Telluride send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Axis Health System?
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 Telluride.
Does Axis Health System treat depression too?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Telluride may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Where a program has no prescriber, your own doctor stays in charge of what you take. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
How long would I be in a program?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask what happens on the last day, and what gets arranged before it.
