A Family Emergency Plan in New Mexico
Family Safety Planning
When someone you care about is struggling, it can be hard to know what to say first. This guide offers a calm place to begin, and CRP can answer basic questions about current outpatient support.
Start with the answer
Start with a clear next step.
Your plan should distinguish urgent danger from routine treatment questions and assign simple actions. The Recovery Learning Center supports basic education, while Admissions and Contact is for non-urgent CRP inquiries. For overdose, severe withdrawal, unconsciousness, seizure, breathing trouble, suicidal danger, or urgent danger, call 911 or use the right crisis resource.
Write observable emergency conditions in plain language rather than asking relatives to diagnose. Include who calls 911, who shares the site, who keeps others away from danger, and who gathers essential details for responders. Call CRP so staff can explain the current details before you make a decision. A short plan is easier to follow under pressure than a long list of uncertain steps.
Keep emergency contacts available in more than one accessible place. Include the person’s name, site details, an emergency contact, and relevant details that emergency professionals may request. Talk with a qualified prescriber before starting, stopping, or changing medication. Withdrawal concerns deserve prompt medical guidance. CRP offers outpatient support for adults in Albuquerque and Las Cruces. For urgent or emergency needs, call 911 or use the right crisis or health resource.
Call CRP 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 clearer talk separates three paths: emergency response, crisis support, and routine treatment contact. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) describes non-emergency service context, while the Family Academy supports family planning. Ask your household, “Which situations mean we call 911 immediately, and which questions can wait for weekday office hours?”
Discuss the plan during a calm period and use direct statements. Everyone should know that unconsciousness, seizures, breathing trouble, overdose, severe withdrawal, suicidal danger, or urgent danger require urgent help. Decide who can safely make the call and who will guide responders to the person. For an overdose, severe withdrawal, seizure, breathing trouble, loss of consciousness, suicidal danger, or urgent danger, call 911 or use the right crisis resource where you are. Email and travel to CRP are not emergency options.
Routine questions may include whether CRP serves the adult’s age group, where outpatient care occurs, and how to call CRP about services. CRP serves coed adults age 18 and older through its Albuquerque and Las Cruces outpatient offices and does not offer telehealth. Those facts do not establish admission or the correct level of care. Emergency planning and treatment access planning should remain separate, even when both matter to the family.
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.

CRP is not a hospital, live-in program, emergency service, or onsite detox office. Its phone and email should appear under routine treatment contacts, not as the household’s emergency response pathway.
For non-urgent planning, Call CRP about clinical fit, openings, schedule, coverage, cost, approval, and start dates on your own. Call CRP to learn whether the person’s needs can be discussed and whether another level of care may require an outside assessment. CRP offers outpatient support for adults in Albuquerque and Las Cruces. For urgent or emergency needs, call 911 or use the right crisis or health resource. Call CRP about the details that matter to you.
choose the next step
One practical next step, explained in plain language.
Write a three-column card labeled “Call 911,” “Use crisis support,” and “Ask during office hours.” The Family Academy can support family planning, while the Recovery Resource Center can help sort non-emergency options. Put observable conditions and contact actions under each heading, then review the card together.
Under “Call 911,” list overdose, severe withdrawal, unconsciousness, seizure, breathing trouble, suicidal danger, and urgent danger. Under crisis support, list the right crisis contact your household has selected. Under office hours, Call CRP now. Staff will guide the talk and explain the next step. Add the person’s current site whenever the family changes where it is staying or meeting.
If the needs is safe and non-urgent, call CRP at (505) 526-3649 Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You may learn how someone you care about can raise a routine access question. Email info@choicerecoverypath.com only for non-emergency matters. If danger is present now, stop planning and contact 911 or the right crisis resource.
