Questions people ask about Dragonfly Counseling Associates
What levels of care does Dragonfly Counseling Associates offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Albuquerque has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does Dragonfly Counseling Associates treat people who are pregnant?
Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 14 named programs here.
Does Dragonfly Counseling Associates prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Albuquerque has 8 other centers.
Can family be involved in treatment?
Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Look up the free family groups in Albuquerque as well, because they outlast any program.
Who answers the phone?
Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.
Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?
Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
