Questions people ask about El Centro Family Health
What kind of care does El Centro Family Health provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Springer is set up for.
Is detox part of what El Centro Family Health offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Springer offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there a program at El Centro Family Health for people like me?
People who are pregnant or just postpartum are one of the 7 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Can El Centro Family Health treat anxiety alongside addiction?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Springer may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Are there other options nearby?
It is on its own in this part of NM, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.
What is aftercare?
A program that ends with nothing scheduled has handed you the hardest month with no structure in it. Alumni programs exist at many centers and are usually free to people who went through them. Ask whether the center keeps treating you afterwards or hands you on.
Can my family come?
There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Look up the free family groups in Springer as well, because they outlast any program.
Is there a bed available now?
It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
