Questions people ask about El Centro Family Health
Is El Centro Family Health inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Taos has 2 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at El Centro Family Health?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Taos. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Is there a program at El Centro Family Health for people like me?
They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Taos has 2 other centers to ask.
Are there free support meetings in Taos?
Taos has 13 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does El Centro Family Health treat teenagers?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Taos about a teenager is in the right place.
Does El Centro Family Health prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Taos.
What happens to the medication I already take?
Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.
How long does treatment take?
There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
