Before you call

If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether Lifespan Psychiatry of Colorado - Cortez offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. Programs that do not are operating outside the current standard of care. Programs that cannot answer all three quickly are programs worth approaching with caution.
