They offer inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Pueblo has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and none of the 8 centers near Pueblo offer one at all.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Pueblo differ on it.

They prescribe methadone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Pueblo.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Pueblo are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Pueblo is set up for it.

Ask three centers and you will get three different figures, because they are pricing three different programs. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Get the figure in writing if you can, and ask what happens if you need longer than the program length.

There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
