New Mexico Drug and Alcohol Use Statistics
Since it shares a border with Mexico, New Mexico is closely associated with drug running, distribution, and substance abuse.
According to the New Mexico Substance Use Epidemiology Profile 2022, the ten leading causes of death in New Mexico are partially attributable to drug and alcohol abuse. Nearly 10,000 people enter drug and alcohol addiction treatment in the state, most of whom are males.
Substance abuse in New Mexico is considered a crisis. Statistics show that it ranks among the worst states in terms of addiction and drug abuse in the United States, with approximately 500 people dying from a drug overdose annually. Over 300 of these deaths result from opioid overdoses, and the number continues to rise year after year as fentanyl seeps into every corner of the illicit drug supply.
The Need for Effective Addiction Treatment in New Mexico
Nearly 40% of fatal car accidents in New Mexico are attributable to alcohol, and the alcohol-related disease deaths in the state are twice the national average. With 5% of teens reporting to have abused prescription opioids, drug use by teens is higher in New Mexico than in any other American State.
Those battling drug abuse and addiction benefit significantly from drug addiction treatment programs. Substance abuse disorder (SUD) may affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity.
However, everyone suffering from addiction needs professional help. Drug addiction treatment is usually the difference between life and death.
What is Substance Abuse Treatment?
Substance abuse treatment helps people battling addiction return to their everyday lives, where they are productively employed, have positive relationships with their loved ones, and stay away from legal troubles. In the form of drug and alcohol rehab, a treatment center provides a stable and supportive environment for clients to learn new skills and approaches to help better maintain abstinence from substances in daily living.
The goal of any program designed to help people struggling with substance misuse is to help them overcome their addiction and the adverse effects of drug or alcohol use. The specifics of where and how someone receives treatment vary significantly according to their circumstances and requirements.
Some clients successfully recover from substance abuse or addiction after participating in brief outpatient programs, while longer-term residential rehabilitation programs may be more effective for other clients.
Not all inpatient rehab and outpatient services are the same. Most outpatient or inpatient programs may use different treatment methods, depending on the individual’s history with substance abuse and reaction to treatment.
The chronic nature of addiction also requires close monitoring of outcomes, often many intervention attempts.
However, recovery is achievable through focus and attention in a professional rehab center.
An Overview of Our Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs
Assessment by a drug and alcohol addiction professional is the first step after admission to our New Mexico treatment services. The advice of a medical professional, a psychologist, or an addiction specialist is essential when selecting the most effective treatment type.
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria includes five broad categories, which help our clinicians match clients with the right substance abuse treatment plan.
The ASAM criteria highlight a spectrum of treatment options and that a patient’s response to therapy can indicate whether or not they would benefit from more or less rigorous treatment.
Treatment Levels Offered by Our Rehab Centers in New Mexico
Most of the broad ASAM categories reflect the type and intensiveness of different treatment plans. These include:
1. Outpatient Treatment Programs
Outpatient care is among the least intensive treatment plans, primarily reserved for people with mild addiction. Most people with less severe substance abuse problems, full-time jobs, and strong social support choose outpatient treatment services for added convenience.
Drug education, sobriety skills training along with sober inspirational tools, weekly counseling and addiction therapy, and outpatient detox programs are all viable options for those seeking help. Treatment length varies depending on recovery success.
2. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
The services accessible in standard outpatient treatment are also present in intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and day treatment programs, but they are provided more often and for longer periods. In these treatment programs, clients with dual diagnoses or mental health disorders have access to many resources available to inpatient clients.
3. Inpatient Treatment centers
Residential or inpatient treatment centers provide clients with the stability of around-the-clock care for more severe substance abuse disorders. It also offers the added benefit of removing clients from the environmental triggers that may have exacerbated their addiction.
These programs usually involve group and individual counseling sessions. Other than providing intensive care for people with co-occurring mental health disorders. Our residential treatment facility also offers medication-assisted treatment and detox services.
4. Intensive Inpatient Treatment Services
Those with severe substance abuse disorders and severe co-existing medical or mental health illnesses may benefit from intensive inpatient hospitalization, which provides round-the-clock, monitored care in a hospital setting.
In some cases, a client may be admitted to a severely deteriorated physical or psychiatric state. In that case, they will often undergo strict monitoring and medical intervention to return them to a stable condition before beginning a term of substance misuse treatment in an intense inpatient hospital setting.
Detoxification is often the first step in most holistic addiction treatment programs. It helps stabilize the client and ease the withdrawal symptoms to prevent relapse. Drug detox may last for several days or weeks. After the patient’s condition has stabilized, they may benefit from a stay in a residential rehab center.
Choosing a Treatment Center that is Built Around Client Needs
Since there is no single, universally accepted method for treating drug abuse, addiction treatment is often customized and incorporates various treatment approaches.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the type of rehab program that is best for you will depend on factors like:
- Duration of substance abuse
- Method of administration and type of drug
- Frequency of drug use
- Amount of drugs used
- Previous treatment efforts
- Abusing multiple substances
- Dual diagnosis or co-occurring mental health disorders
- Behavioral addictions
- Medical conditions
At Icarus, we provide each of our clients with a personalized treatment plan, centered around evidence-based practices and unique to your specific situation and goals in seeking support.
