Practical questions for an informed start
How to Begin With Choice
You do not have to know just which service you need before you call. Learn about clear next steps Before You Begin, then talk with Choice about your goals and the support available now.
Start with the answer
Start with a clear next step.
If you are preparing to begin, your questions should reveal how treatment may affect an ordinary week. Use Admissions and Contact for Choice-specific answers and the Recovery Resource Center for broader context. Call Choice about visits, outpatient site, scheduling, communication, privacy, duties between visits, and what happens when work, caregiving, medical care, or other fixed commitments create conflicts.
Start with your nonmovable duties. Write down work hours, caregiving, medical visits, court obligations, and other treatment or recovery support that applies. Then learn which current Choice expectations could overlap. A schedule that looks possible in basic may still be impractical when visits frequency, travel, preparation, and follow-up duties are considered together.
Call Choice and take the next step.
The admissions team can listen, explain current outpatient options, and help you begin without requiring you to know every program detail first.

Start admissionsMake it practical
Here is how to begin.
A helpful first talk compares treatment expectations with your real routine. Learn how the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is now structured and confirm addiction treatment in Albuquerque, NM access. Bring your weekly outline and learn which details are fixed, which may vary, and which cannot be known until a clinical talk occurs. This avoids guessing that basic hours equal treatment openings.
Choice's office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and weekends are closed. Office hours do not establish service times, openings, or visit schedules. Call Choice directly about the current schedule for the service under talk. Choice does not offer telehealth or lodging. Staff can coordinate transportation available for your situation after checking coverage, needs, timing, and route.
A practical path forward
Start with support for the life you are living now.
Staff can explain the outpatient path, verify Medicaid coverage and eligibility, and coordinate available transportation after checking your situation. Explore the whole-person outpatient program and start admissions when you are ready.
Start admissionsKnow what to confirm
Call Choice and get clear answers.
Ask for separate answers about access, care, and payment. The Recovery Resource Center can help find broader needs, while How Choice Reviews Treatment Details frames personal-fit questions. Confirm service openings, clinical fit, level of care, schedule, visits, site, cost, coverage, approval, records, privacy, coordination, and possible start date. Learn which answers remain pending and who will follow up.
Choice serves coed adults age 18 and older at 11401 Menaul Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112. Staff can coordinate transportation available for your situation; lodging is separate. Before committing time or money, calculate the clear burden of outpatient taking part using your own needs. Confirm all Choice details first and avoid relying on not currently confirmed assumptions about frequency or timing.
choose the next step
One practical next step, explained in plain language.
Circle the three questions that would change your decision or weekly plan. Confirm addiction treatment in Albuquerque, NM logistics, then use the Recovery Learning Center for basic terms. Call Choice and ask those three questions first. Record each answer as confirmed, pending, or unknown so you know what still needs attention before beginning.
You do not need every answer before you call. The Choice team can guide you through each next step. Choose your own three based on the consequences of an unclear answer. For example, a schedule question may matter before requesting work leave, while a cost question matters before making a payment.
