First Choice Community Healthcare

They are set up for 3 levels: outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Albuquerque, 1 offers a bed.

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 Albuquerque.

Yes, they treat people in Spanish. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Albuquerque has 8 other centers to ask the same of.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Albuquerque differ on it.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Albuquerque.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Albuquerque, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.

Days for a detox, weeks for a residential stay, months for outpatient care. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.
