Questions people ask about La Frontera Center
What programs does La Frontera Center offer?
They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient hospital, telemedicine and outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Tucson, 2 offer a bed.
Can you detox at La Frontera Center?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Tucson, about a mile away.
Is there anything in Tucson besides paid treatment?
Tucson has 82 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Tucson.
Does La Frontera Center prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Tucson, not all of them do.
Are there alternatives to La Frontera Center?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Tucson, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
How do I choose between two centers?
Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.
Is there family counseling?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.
