Release of Information: Support and Next Steps
A clear referral starts with the right details and a direct contact path. Use this guide to prepare, then call Choice before sending records or personal details.
Start with the answer
Start with a clear next step.
Your questions should explain who may communicate, what details is relevant, and what decision the communication supports. Review the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) only as a possible fit topic, and use the treatment guides to explain treatment language. Call Choice about naming a supporter or professional automatically permits every disclosure.
Begin by identifying the people involved and the purpose of communication. Examples include discussing referral fit, coordinating current care, or helping an adult learn next steps. Learn what details is actually needed for that purpose. Avoid sending broad records simply because they are available.
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 clear first talk asks about process before sharing sensitive details. Review Admissions and Contact and confirm the setting through Addiction Treatment in Albuquerque, NM. You can learn how the adult should indicate communication preferences and what Choice needs from each participant. You do not have to send a full history to ask that question.
A prospective client might say, “I want my supporter involved in scheduling questions. What do I need to do?” A professional might call Choice and share what you need help with. A loved one should learn how the adult can participate rather than requesting unrestricted access to private details.
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.
Before signing, sending, or relying on details-sharing plans, explain terms through the treatment guides and clarify the next steps with the Recovery Resource Center. Ask Choice who can communicate, what details is needed, how preferences are expressed, and how changes are handled. Also confirm fit, openings, schedule, cost, coverage, approval, and timing on your own.
Choice serves coed adults age 18 and older at 11401 Menaul Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112. Choice does not offer telehealth. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and weekends are closed. These access facts do not create permission to disclose or receive personal details.
choose the next step
One practical next step, explained in plain language.
Write a purpose statement before contacting Choice: “I want ____ involved for ____.” Confirm the physical setting through Addiction Treatment in Albuquerque, NM and review How Choice Reviews Treatment Details. Then learn what Choice needs to record or honor that choice. A narrow purpose can make the talk clearer for everyone.
Add the details categories that seem necessary for that purpose, then ask Choice whether they are relevant. For example, scheduling may require other details than clinical coordination. Call Choice to confirm whether a supporter, referring professional, or payer should receive the same details. Learn how the adult can change preferences if needs change.

Clear answers
Clear answers about release of information: support and next steps
Read the main guide above and visit the Choice admissions page when you are ready. These answers cover common concerns. Call Choice to begin and learn what is available now.
01What is a release of information question?
It asks who may communicate, what details may be relevant, why communication is needed, and how the adult’s preferences are expressed. Specific forms and needs require direct clarification. Call Choice to learn how privacy and consent apply before sharing personal details.
02Can a loved one receive information from Choice?
Call Choice to learn what permissions and process apply to the adult’s needs. A loved one should not assume access to private details. The adult can learn how to involve a supporter for a defined purpose, such as scheduling or care coordination, while keeping other details private.
03Does information sharing determine clinical fit?
No. Call Choice to learn what support is available, whether it may fit your needs, and what the first step may involve. Those are separate questions. Medication choices belong in a direct talk with a qualified prescriber.
04What should I confirm before sending records?
learn what details Choice needs, who should receive it, how it should be communicated, and what permission is required. Define the purpose before sending broad records. Also confirm that outpatient Albuquerque care is relevant because Choice does not offer telehealth or another Albuquerque treatment site.
05What is a simple way to prepare?
Complete one sentence: “I want this person involved for this purpose.” Then call Choice to learn what is needed to support that choice. Keep the initial question narrow, avoid unnecessary sensitive details, and invite the adult client to state or confirm their preferences whenever possible.
