Questions people ask about Imperial Valley Medical Clinic Inc
What kind of care does Imperial Valley Medical Clinic Inc provide?
They offer outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and El Centro has 5 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Imperial Valley Medical Clinic Inc?
They detox from opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to El Centro.
Does Imperial Valley Medical Clinic Inc treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near El Centro is set up for it.
Does Imperial Valley Medical Clinic Inc do telehealth?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into El Centro.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Imperial Valley Medical Clinic Inc?
Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of El Centro.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. Interactions are the reason the list is asked for, particularly with anything sedating. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.
Do I need to stay overnight?
One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.
Who has access to my records?
A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
