Questions people ask about La Frontera Center
Which levels of care does La Frontera Center have?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Tucson, 3 offer a bed.
Does La Frontera Center offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Tucson, about a mile away.
Can you stay overnight at La Frontera Center?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Tucson.
Can La Frontera Center handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Tucson is something they handle.
How many other options are in this area?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Tucson, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
What stops it going wrong again afterward?
It is the stretch after discharge, and it tends to decide whether the program holds. Where medication is part of the plan, the handover to a community prescriber is the gap to watch. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.
How do I choose between two centers?
What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
What if there is no space?
Availability changes week to week, which is why no listing page can tell you. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
