Questions to ask Southwest Counseling Service

Is my specific plan in network, and do you need prior authorization before admission?
How many hours a week is the outpatient or IOP schedule, and are evening groups available?
Which medications do you prescribe (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), and can I continue a medication I already take?
Do you treat mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety at the same time?
Is there a waitlist, and how soon can you do an assessment?
What happens after the program ends: aftercare, alumni groups or step-down care?

Also confirm the facility is licensed by Wyoming (this facility reports accreditation). If you are withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, ask about medical detox; do not stop suddenly on your own.
