Your First Visit to ALT Recovery Group Step-by-Step Guide

Taking the First Step Toward Recovery

Beginning your journey to recovery is a courageous decision. At ALT Recovery Group clinics in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Chatsworth, Los Angeles, we understand how overwhelming the first visit can feel. That’s why we are committed to making the process simple, supportive, and welcoming. Whether you are seeking opioid treatment for the first time or returning to restart your healing, knowing what to expect can help ease your mind.

What You Need to Bring to Your First Visit

To make your intake process smooth, please remember to bring:

  • A valid photo ID

  • Your insurance card (if you have insurance)

  • A list of any medications you are currently taking

  • Any medical records related to your substance use history (if available)

Our team will guide you through everything—even if you come with just yourself and your commitment to getting better.

What Happens During Your First Appointment

Your first appointment at ALT Recovery Group is focused on building a foundation for success. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Comprehensive Assessment

You will meet with a caring staff member who will ask about:

  • Your health history

  • Your history of opioid use

  • Your personal goals for recovery

We understand that sharing your story can feel intimidating. Everything you share with us stays private and helps us create a treatment plan tailored to you.

2. Medical Evaluation

Our healthcare team will perform a basic medical evaluation to ensure medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is safe and appropriate for you. We specialize in opioid withdrawal management, and our goal is to help you feel better—both physically and emotionally.

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

Depending on your needs, you may start methadone maintenance, buprenorphine treatment, or naltrexone therapy as part of your recovery journey. Every step is explained clearly, with your questions and comfort as our top priority.
