Start with the answer
What is Brief Intervention in addiction recovery?
Learn more through the Brief Intervention guide and the Recovery Learning Center before deciding what questions to bring to CRP. A brief intervention generally refers to a focused talk about substance use, related concerns, motivation, and possible next steps. It is usually narrower than ongoing counseling or a full clinical assessment.
For some adults, a focused talk may help put one concern into words: a change in substance use, an effect on relationships or work, a safety concern, or uncertainty about whether more support is needed. It does not by itself diagnose a substance use condition, find co-occurring mental health needs, or decide the right level of care. Those questions require an appropriate clinical talk and assessment.
Los Alamos is a census designated place in Los Alamos County, and the 2020 Census counted 13,179 residents. It is also part of the broader New Mexico setting people may travel from when seeking care. These local facts do not indicate that CRP has an office in Los Alamos. For this page, Albuquerque is the confirmed CRP destination for discussing outpatient care.
