    Substance abuse is defined by the continued use of drugs or alcohol despite negative consequences, such as legal or work problems. It can be treated using a variety of services, including therapy and medication.

    Substance abuse treatment is beneficial for:

    • People who have been using drugs or alcohol for a long time.
    • People who have been using drugs or alcohol to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression.
    • People who have a mental health disorder in conjunction with substance abuse.
    • People who continue to use drugs or alcohol despite the harmful effects they cause on their own life and the lives of others.
    • People who have had multiple failed attempts at recovery without medical assistance.

    If you believe that addiction treatment is right for you or a loved one, you can contact your primary care physician, or search for addiction treatment centers in your area. Treatment is beneficial to people who are motivated towards recovery, and who understand the benefits of professional care.

    Opioid addiction is a common form of addiction, often caused by prescription drugs that are abused. Addiction is treated by detoxifying the body and following up with therapies to correct behavior and target the root of the problem.

    Most opioid addiction begins with patients being prescribed painkillers after an injury or surgery. The body becomes used to the chemicals in these medications and soon no longer responds to their presence. As a result, addicts seek out stronger opiate-based medications like Oxycodone to compensate for the lack of effectiveness.

    The most dangerous aspect is that these addictive behaviors often get carried over onto illicit drugs like heroin, which are increasingly potent and result in lower life expectancies.

    Levels of Care Offered

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Detox, Drug Rehab, Inpatient, Residential, Sober-Living / Half-Way, with additional therapies available as listed below.

    Detox is the body’s process of removing toxins. In substance abuse, detox refers to the process of getting rid of drugs already present in the system once the patient stops further intake. Detox is the initial recovery step. Physiological drug dependence over time can lead to symptoms of withdrawal. Depending on the symptom severity, the detox process is managed either medically or clinically. While medically assisted detox relies on specific medicines, clinical or social detox relies on providing the patient with emotional and psychological support.

    The inpatient rehab at Bernalillo County - Metropolitan Assessment and Treatment promises an intense and effective treatment. Inpatient rehabs are particularly recommended for those with a severe addiction to drugs. Detoxing at a rehab center ensures that the patient receives 24-hour medical supervision to ensure the best possible chance of recovery. Medical staff is readily available to intervene in case of withdrawal symptoms or other complications. This is not the case with outpatient treatment, where patients may be discharged after the detoxification process is complete.

    Inpatient facilities provide residential and holistic treatment, with access to experienced medical professionals and rehab specialists. This ensures the best possible recovery and is recommended for patients with severe addiction seeking drug treatment.

    People who have completed treatment have the opportunity to go to a sober living home. These facilities located in New Mexico, offered by Bernalillo County - Metropolitan Assessment and Treatment, support a sober living lifestyle. There are often curfews, chores, and therapy sessions enforced to keep residents clean. Career training and other resources are also provided to help recovering addicts return to the outside world. Sober living houses help the patient to smoothly transition from a formal treatment program to a normal life.

    SLH (Sober Living Homes) is one of the options of aftercare that helps the patient maintain sobriety by preventing relapses. SLH provides the advantage of residing with a peer group who had similar experiences and share the common goal of staying sober. All the residents need to follow a set of rules or guidelines. These are different for different SLH. They help the patient gradually restore the life skills, interpersonal skills, and various other skills needed to be independent.

    Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
