Alcoholism

Ranging from mild to severe, alcohol use disorder is a condition characterized by drinking to the point of causing harm or distress. Recovery from this alcohol addiction takes time and commitment. Alcohol rehab in New Mexico can provide the resources necessary to overcome alcoholism. Through detox, psychotherapy, and social supports, participants gain the skills they need to achieve and maintain sobriety.

Drug Addiction

Each drug rehab in New Mexico offers unique amenities and treatment methods. Common aspects of treatment include group and individual counseling, recreational therapy, medication management, and healthy living. Aftercare is often provided to prevent relapse.

Dual Diagnosis

In New Mexico, specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs prioritize comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These programs offer outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization options. Evidence-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy and medication-assisted treatment, in combination with skills training and recovery support groups, provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to address both disorders simultaneously. By addressing co-occurring disorders simultaneously, and under the same roof, treatment outcomes are drastically improved.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

In New Mexico, substance abuse treatment is available on an inpatient and outpatient basis. These programs integrate evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions — like yoga and meditation — to help you reframe unhelpful thoughts, develop more healthy coping strategies, and give you the tools to sustain your recovery.

Outpatient

Clients enrolled in outpatient rehab programs may receive daily, biweekly, or weekly treatment while continuing to live at home. This enables clients to integrate their recovery care plan into their routine work and family schedule. Addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) are the most common services offered at outpatient centers, but many also provide holistic therapies, such as meditation and massage, and ancillary services, such as career coaching.

Medically Assisted Detox

When your body is purged of all addictive substances, the process is known as detoxification, and this is typically the first step in the addiction recovery process. A medically assisted detox is generally performed in an inpatient setting, where you are monitored by a team of medical professionals who consistently check and recheck your vital signs and provide medications if necessary to help alleviate any withdrawal symptoms. After you’ve safely cleared drugs and alcohol from your system, you’ll likely transition to an inpatient addiction treatment program for the next phase of your recovery.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
