Professional Referral Center
School Referral Resources
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.
If you or someone you care about is an adult student, a school referral should explain concerns, choices, and continuity needs. The Recovery Resource Center offers basic educational context, and you can contact Choice Recovery Path for current access facts. A qualified professional can listen to what is going on, assess your needs, and guide the safest next step.
Start by separating academic issues from treatment questions. Visits, deadlines, conduct, and campus procedures belong to the school. Diagnosis, treatment planning, and level-of-care choices require qualified clinical talk. SAMHSA describes quality treatment as personal and attentive to a person’s broader needs. That principle can help an adult learn how care might connect with education, family duties, and recovery support.
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 identifies what you know, what remains uncertain, and what the adult wants to ask. Review How Choice Reviews Treatment Details guide and use the Recovery Learning Center for basic treatment context. Then call Choice about outpatient expectations, helpful referral details, current openings, and how ongoing school duties can be discussed.
The adult might say, “I am balancing school and want to learn the current outpatient process.” A supporter or school professional can learn how the adult should initiate contact. Avoid demanding personal disclosures that are unnecessary for the initial question. The adult’s preferences and permission matter when another person is involved, while school-specific privacy or accommodation questions should go to the school.
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.

Clear answers
Clear answers about school referral resources
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 do school referral resources mean for an adult student?
They help an adult student, supporter, or school professional sort concerns and ask respectful questions about treatment access. A direct talk can help Choice learn your needs and discuss whether outpatient care may fit. Academic policies, accommodations, treatment fit, and personal consent are separate matters that require answers from the right people.
02Can Choice work around a class schedule?
A current schedule and its possible fit must be discussed directly with Choice. Start with the concern that feels most important to you, and let the team guide the talk from there. Because Choice does not offer telehealth, Call Choice about outpatient expectations in Albuquerque before changing classes. You do not need every answer before you call. The Choice team can guide you through each next step.
03What if an adult student may be in immediate danger?
Call 911 for overdose, severe withdrawal, loss of consciousness, seizure, breathing trouble, suicidal danger, or urgent danger. Share only the details needed for your question, and ask Choice which contact method is right for personal details. Choice is not an emergency service, hospital, live-in program, or onsite detox office.
04What should an adult student confirm directly?
Tell the team what support you are looking for and what would make care workable for you. The student should on your own ask their school about academic procedures or accommodations. Call Choice to confirm what is available and what comes next.
05What can the student do before calling?
Prepare a simple weekly outline showing classes, work, caregiving, and necessary travel. Then call Choice now; staff will guide the conversation and explain the next step. The outline helps explain duties without committing the student to care or guessing that a particular schedule will be available.
