Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Las Vegas.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Las Vegas offers both.

Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed.
