About Turning Point Recovery Center
Turning Point Recovery Center is a private treatment facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Established in 2010, they provide a range of addiction and mental health services to assist adults. You can access a full continuum of care to start your journey.
They accept most major insurance plans, including private insurers and Medicaid. Self pay options are available for you if you don’t have insurance.
Their proximity to Arroyo del Oso Park offers some gorgeous outdoor walking trails and spaces for exercise or reflection. For more outdoor enjoyment, they’re just a short drive to Sandia Foothills Open Space areas, which provide scenic views and hiking trails.
Prioritizing Wellness in Recovery
What stands out most to me is their wellness center. You can access a personalized wellness plan that encourages holistic healing. Yoga, meditation, relaxation saunas, fitness trainers and more are available. You’ll benefit from a safe space to improve your overall quality of life while working toward recovery.
Medication Management in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Their medication management services also caught my eye. They offer detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
This comprehensive approach treats opioid and alcohol use disorders by combining FDA approved medications with counseling services. You’ll benefit from a holistic treatment approach that decreases cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This can aid in relapse prevention and support your lasting recovery.
Gender Specific Accommodations for Your Comfort
Another great feature I noticed was their gender specific approach. They provide men’s and women’s residential treatment centers in quiet and safe neighborhoods. You’ll live and connect with peers who are on similar journeys. You’ll also have ongoing access to a house manager who will be happy to help you at any time.
Amenities
When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.
Rehabs that offer mountain views provide beautiful spaces for clients to explore, de-stress, and take part in outdoor or wilderness therapy programs. The mountain surroundings can be a great help to the recovery process, as sobriety may be better achieved while surrounded by a serene setting in nature.
Some rehab programs offer free Wi-Fi to guests who have full access to their smartphone devices or laptop computers during treatment. While access to these devices may be allowed, the time spent using them is often regulated or restricted so clients can focus on treatment.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Addiction Treatment Programs
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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.
Each opioid rehab in New Mexico is unique. Treatment options include medical detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab, and partial hospitalization programs (PHPs). The best program for each person depends on the severity of their addiction and personal situation.
Levels of Care
Their IOP is the best in the business. After alcohol and drugs are safely out of the body, the client enters an intensive, supportive, recovery program to avoid relapse and ensure stability. IOP combines group therapy, individual therapy, community meetings, peer support, and accountability. It’s a proven method of recovery.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Clients in need of around the clock, full service, medically supervised detox can stay in their residential house located in the Northeast section of Albuquerque. Unlike huge detox facilities with dozens of beds and a one-size-fits-all approach, their detox house accommodates a maximum of 5 residents at any time. And rather than a sterile, hospital-type setting, their house sits in a residential neighborhood with all the amenities of home. Many clients need medically supervised detox services, but are unwilling or unable to enter into residential care, perhaps due to work or family obligations. Turning Point offers these clients the option of the proper medications and regular medical oversight to safely withdraw from alcohol or drugs while remaining at home.
