Questions people ask about Presbyterian Medical Services
Is Presbyterian Medical Services inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Alamogordo is set up for.
Does Presbyterian Medical Services offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Alamogordo offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What is there in Alamogordo that costs nothing?
Alamogordo has 11 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does Presbyterian Medical Services treat mental health as well?
They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult men, adult women, court referrals, pain management, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma and veterans.
Does Presbyterian Medical Services treat people in Spanish?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Alamogordo are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
What is medication assisted treatment?
The short version is a prescribed medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal, taken under supervision. Not every center is licensed for every medication, so what is on offer varies more than the clinical picture does. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.
Can I start this week?
Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
What do I need to pack for a residential program?
Photo id, your insurance card, and a list of every medication you take with the doses. Chargers, razors and anything with a cord are often held and signed out when needed rather than kept in the room. Call (844) 822-5800 if you need to know what a particular program expects on arrival.
