Questions people ask about University of New Mexico Hospital

Is University of New Mexico Hospital residential or day treatment?

They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Albuquerque has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

What does University of New Mexico Hospital detox from?

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Albuquerque.

Is there a program at University of New Mexico Hospital for people like me?

One of their programs is built for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 5 named here.

What else is near University of New Mexico Hospital?

The nearest other center is 2.3 miles away, in Albuquerque, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

Can University of New Mexico Hospital handle a dual diagnosis?

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Albuquerque that is the part that varies.

Is telehealth available at University of New Mexico Hospital?

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Albuquerque differ on it.

What does stepping down look like?

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. An alumni group, a weekly session and a prescriber are the three pieces most plans are built from. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.

What if this is not the first time?

Going back into treatment is normal, and most centers treat people who have been through it before. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
