Questions people ask about NM Department of Health
Is NM Department of Health residential or day treatment?
They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient, inpatient residential and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Albuquerque is set up for.
Can you detox at NM Department of Health?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Albuquerque.
What else is near NM Department of Health?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Albuquerque, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at NM Department of Health?
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.
What special programs does NM Department of Health offer?
Adult women are one of the 2 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Which medications does NM Department of Health prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Albuquerque, not all of them do.
What questions should I ask a center?
Marketing language is nearly identical across the field, so the comparison has to be made on specifics. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.
Who answers the phone?
Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.
