Levels of Substance Use Care

Understand the levels of substance use care at Life Healing Center in northern New Mexico

We offer a comprehensive care experience at Life Healing Center with several levels of support to meet you or your loved one where you are in your recovery journey. Depending on the nature of your symptoms and whether you need regular monitoring from our expert team, we offer several substance use care options at our rehabilitation center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

Withdrawal management – For clients who need support removing drugs or alcohol from their bodies before they can fully engage in therapeutic activities, we offer withdrawal management, or detoxification services, with the help of medical staff, a psychiatric provider, and a therapist. This process usually takes about 10 to 14 days depending on the nature of each client’s symptoms. 

Residential treatment  Residential treatment provides eight hours of therapeutic programming a day with round-the-clock monitoring to ensure our clients comfort and safety. Most clients remain in residential care for 28 to 35 days depending on their specific recovery goals and needs. 

Partial hospitalization program (PHP)  We offer an intensive therapeutic experience through our PHP, with clients attending six hours of programming a day. Many of our clients remain at the PHP level for seven to 11 days, though everyone’s recovery journey is different. 

Our expert team fully personalizes the therapies and interventions included in your treatment plan to ensure that you experience the best outcome possible. Before you begin treatment for a substance use disorder at our rehabilitation center near Albuquerque, New Mexico, we will conduct a thorough psychiatric assessment of your medical history and current needs, strengths, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, your treatment plan might include: 

  • Group therapy 
  • Experiential therapy 
  • Individual therapy 
  • Medication management 
  • Medical care 

We incorporate proven, evidence-based treatment modalities into the therapeutic interventions we provide. Depending on your specific needs, you may experience cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), or various peer support and peer-led groups, including the 12-Step recovery model. At Life Healing Center, we work closely with each client to find the path that leads to successful, long-lasting recovery from the substance use disorder that has kept them from living their best life.
