About this Facility

University of New Mexico -- Addiction and Recovery is a drug and alcohol addiction recovery program in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They serve adult clients seeking recovery through integrated, evidence backed treatments on an outpatient basis alongside additional medical services. They are a hospital facility with clinical amenities. This service is operated by the University of New Mexico (UNM). Clients in need of additional medical services can receive them from this facility.

UNM offers ambulatory detox services for clients seeking treatment. Completing a detox program is a common requirement for entering a treatment plan. Ambulatory detox is unique in that it is delivered on an outpatient basis: clients live at home and visit the facility for detox treatment until their body is clean of illicit substances.

Detox often involves the use of medication to curb withdrawal symptoms. In addition, clients are supported through therapy during this time. Once a client’s body is clean, they continue to the next stage of treatment.

An outpatient program is a low level of care for clients previously treated in an inpatient program or considered low risk with mild symptoms. Clients live at home and visit the facility to receive care during treatment. Outpatient care is provided on a flexible schedule.

UNM’s outpatient program combines primary care, psychiatric, and case management services to help clients overcome their symptoms and develop the life and coping skills needed to live independently and in sobriety. UNM also offers specialized outpatient programs for pregnant clients and adolescents.

A mental health disorder (such as depression or bipolar) that exists alongside a substance use disorder (SUD) diagnosis is known as a co-occurring disorder. Co-occurring disorders can hamper drug and alcohol recovery efforts if not adequately addressed. UNM has specialized co-occurring disorder treatments that target the symptoms of both problems at once to lower the risk of relapse.

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

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.

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 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.
