Questions people ask about Albuquerque Health Services NW
Which levels of care does Albuquerque Health Services NW have?
They offer outpatient and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Albuquerque has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Albuquerque Health Services NW?
They detox from opioids and benzodiazepines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Albuquerque.
Who is Albuquerque Health Services NW for?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Albuquerque has 8 other centers to try.
What is there in Albuquerque that costs nothing?
Albuquerque has 462 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Does Albuquerque Health Services NW treat people in Spanish?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Albuquerque that can depend on who is rostered that day.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. Coverage for detox is normally a separate question from coverage for the treatment that follows it. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
What if this is not the first time?
Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. The level of care that fits now may not be the one that fit before. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
