Clinic Hours are when our front desk and care team are available to help with scheduling, counseling, intake, paperwork, billing, insurance questions, and other administrative services. **Dosing Hours** are the specific times when medication is dispensed or administered. Please arrive a little early for dosing so we can check you in. If you're unable to make a dosing window, contact our clinic as soon as possible so we can discuss your options.

Dosing Hours indicate when patients can receive their medication (such as methadone, buprenorphine, etc.).

Intake Hours are the designated times for new patients to complete their initial assessment and enrollment. During intake, you'll meet with our clinical team to review your medical history, discuss treatment goals, and create a personalized recovery plan.

Clinic Hours refer to the times when the clinic is open for general operations — such as counseling, assessments, and administrative support. During these hours, patients can check in, schedule appointments, or meet with staff for non-dosing services.

Guest dosing allows you to continue your methadone treatment at another Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) while traveling or temporarily away from your regular ALT Recovery Group clinic. Our staff can coordinate with the receiving clinic to help ensure your treatment continues without interruption.

When combined with counseling and medical support, MAT promotes lasting stability and lowers the risk of relapse. At ALT Recovery Group in Las Cruces, NM and Chatsworth, CA, our MAT programs are designed to support your recovery every step of the way.
