Ideal Option
About Ideal Option
You’ll find Ideal Option in Las Cruces, New Mexico, near the city center. This outpatient clinic provides substance use disorder treatment for adults and youth aged 14 and older. Established in 2012, you can access medication assisted treatment (MAT) to start or continue your recovery journey.
You can pay for treatment with most private health insurance providers, as well as Medicaid and Medicare. If you don’t have insurance, they have payment plans to meet your needs. They’re open Mondays-Thursdays.
Recovery in Las Cruces
Their center is easily accessible and close to multiple resources to support recovery. They’re near Young Park. This community green space is perfect for outdoor activities and relaxation in between sessions.
A further drive out will bring you to beautiful scenic views and desert trails. The MountainView Regional Medical Center and the Las Cruces city center are also nearby. You can explore the community and connect with resources and peers on similar paths.
Facilitating Healing with Safe Medications
I think it’s beneficial that they provide MAT. They offer FDA approved forms of buprenorphine and naltrexone to manage the physical symptoms of quitting certain substances. Options include Suboxone, Subutex, Sublocade or Brixadi, Vivitrol, disulfiram, acamprosate, gabapentin and bupropion.
They can refer you to counseling at any level of care. Targeted programming is also available for pregnant women. I like that they help you safely transition to buprenorphine from methadone. You’ll benefit from a personalized approach to find the best dose and medication for your needs.
Past Patient Experiences
