Questions people ask about First Choice Community Healthcare

Is First Choice Community Healthcare residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Edgewood is set up for.

Can you detox at First Choice Community Healthcare?

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Edgewood.

Are there other centers near First Choice Community Healthcare?

It is on its own in this part of NM, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.

Is there an interpreter at First Choice Community Healthcare?

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Edgewood does.

Are there free support meetings in Edgewood?

Edgewood has 6 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

How do I pick the right place?

The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.

What will I actually pay?

There is no price on this site, because what a program costs depends on the level of care and on your plan. A quote for 30 days and a quote for 90 days get presented the same way, so the length is the first thing to check. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.

Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?

Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. An employer that funds its own plan follows different rules from a state regulated one, and that changes who hears an appeal. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
