About Ideal Option
Ideal Option is an outpatient addiction medicine clinic in Las Cruces offering office-based treatment for substance use disorders.
The clinic specializes in treatment for opioid use disorder, stimulant use involving methamphetamine and cocaine and alcohol withdrawal and relapse prevention.
With a model designed to feel more like a primary care visit than a traditional rehab, Ideal Option aims to make recovery accessible the moment someone is ready to take the first step.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Ideal Option's team focuses on outpatient medication assisted treatment, prescribing medications such as Suboxone, Subutex, Sublocade, Brixadi, Vivitrol, disulfiram, acamprosate and others to support recovery from opioid and alcohol use disorders.
The clinic also assists patients transitioning from methadone to buprenorphine, though methadone itself is not prescribed on site.
Visits resemble a standard medical appointment where clinicians evaluate each patient, develop an individualized medication plan and adjust care over time.
Patients are not penalized for return-to-use episodes, with treatment plans simply reviewed and updated to support long-term stability.
Low-Barrier Access to Recovery Care
Most new Las Cruces patients can begin treatment within one to three days, and walk-ins are welcome.
Bilingual English and Spanish services, multiple intake options and a focus on rapid scheduling help reduce common barriers to starting treatment with medications.
Ideal Option accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance plans with payment plans available.
