About ALT Recovery Group
Other helpful services that are provided at this facility are discharge planning, methadone tapering and guest dosing. The core values this clinic strives to follow with all of its clients are respect, collaboration, compassion and excellence.
Methadone is used to help clients reduce their withdrawal symptoms and cravings. The medical staff will supervise you as the dosage is administered. The methadone maintenance plan is tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
You’ll receive psychological and medical support to address other aspects of addiction while you’re receiving this treatment with regular follow ups and adjustments. The medical professionals on staff specialize in treating addictions to fentanyl. Some holistic treatments you’ll receive include life skills training and family involvement.
Sometimes, you may not be able to receive your dosages at your home clinic. The guest dosing service allows clients to receive their dosage at a different clinic while traveling. This allows you to maintain your treatment without interruption.
Over time, you may eventually want to taper off of methadone. Under medical supervision, ATL Recovery Group will gradually reduce your methadone dosage. The expert team will make sure the process is carefully managed, so you have minimal withdrawal symptoms.
An additional helpful service provided at this facility is the discharge planning service. The service is designed to ensure you have continued support and care after you’ve completed MAT. The team will work with you to develop a discharge plan that includes follow up appointments, community resources, ongoing support and relapse prevention.
ALT Recovery Group is conveniently located off I-25. While you’re in the area, you can check out the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum and the New Mexico State University Art Museum.

Go 👏 to 👏 ELITE!! These people DO NOT CARE. Not only that but the nurses they hire are TRASH, do not care and one is all elderly and should honestly be baking cookies and NOT handling methadone probably. They always get rid of the good nurses!!! The doctors are hardly ever there and if you do show up and they are gone they blame YOU and you get your take homes taken away for not showing up. They are trying to copy elite. Marty is the best and honestly holds that place together. He is genuine and really cares about the people that come through. Kat is pretty awesome too. Shes always running around making sure everyone is where they need to be and giving snacks to everyone. She needs a raise! Marty too! Again, go somewhere else if you can help it. Anywhere but here.

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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 rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
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 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.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
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.
