Questions people ask about University of New Mexico Hospital

Is University of New Mexico Hospital inpatient or outpatient?

They offer outpatient. 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 University of New Mexico Hospital offer a detox?

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 1.6 miles away in Albuquerque.

Which medications does University of New Mexico Hospital prescribe?

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Albuquerque.

Can University of New Mexico Hospital treat someone who does not speak English?

They treat people in Sign language and American Indian or Alaska Native languages as well as English, which not every place around Albuquerque does.

Is there a residential program at University of New Mexico Hospital?

They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Albuquerque offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.

Is there anything after I finish?

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. Nothing booked for the first week back is the most common gap in a discharge plan. Ask who to ring at two in the morning, and get the number written down.

What if there is depression or anxiety as well?

It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. A program that cannot answer these questions is telling you something useful.

Should family be part of this?

Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.
