Start with the answer

Here is how to begin.

You can start without knowing a diagnosis or choosing treatment yourself. Use the Treatment Decision Center to sort your concern, then reach admissions and contact with one direct question. Choice has outpatient offices in Albuquerque and Las Cruces, not Tularosa. Try saying, “I am looking for outpatient outpatient help. What details do you need from me?”

A helpful opening has three parts: what is going on, what help is being sought, and what needs clarification. You might mention that substance use is affecting work, relationships, safety, or routines without trying to label the problem. For a loved one, say what you have observed and learn how the adult can join the talk.
