Clients from Carlsbad, NM Are Welcome at Icarus Behavioral Health in New Mexico
Seeking inpatient drug rehab is the best way to address a substance abuse problem. But it’s not always best to get that treatment close to home.
If you live in Carlsbad NM, consider going somewhere else for your rehab stay. Our facility in Albuquerque would be perfect, as we are close enough to be convenient but far enough away for a fresh start.
Getting drug or alcohol treatment near home can present problems because you are still close to the same triggers that have led to the addiction. This could mean friends or even family members who are a negative influence. It could also be triggers like specific geographical locations that bring up memories and lead you back into old patterns.
Leaving the familiarity of Carlsbad NM could be a difficult but necessary step. Once you have completed a treatment program and are on the road to recovery, you may be able to return while keeping up with ongoing treatments to stay on course. We’ll talk more about those ongoing treatments later on.

The Importance of Professional Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Breaking the pattern of substance abuse on your own is a difficult hill to climb. Getting your life back on track is hard in the best of circumstances, so don’t make it harder by skipping out on professional treatment.
The journey toward recovery typically starts with making it through detox. A medical detox in a treatment facility that is staffed by experienced professionals is much safer and more likely to be successful than an at-home attempt. Once the substance in question is no longer in your body, you can move right into the next level of care, which may be an inpatient drug rehab program. Medical detox is only useful if there is a detailed plan in place for what will happen when that initial process is finished.
Starting recovery at Icarus Behavioral Health in New Mexico will also help you address all sides of the addiction equation. It’s not just about substance abuse, after all. It’s also about the mental health conditions that may be contributing to the abuse. Healing the whole person is how the stage can be set for long-term recovery back home in Carlsbad NM.
Finding Sober Activities Back Home in Carlsbad
At some point, you’ll likely return to life in Carlsbad NM. With a new perspective and plenty of treatment behind you, this will be an exciting time to embark on a new life.
But that doesn’t mean all of the danger has passed. The potential for substance abuse is never truly gone, so you need to have a strategy in mind for how you’ll rebuild your life outside of rehab.
Previously, you may have spent a lot of your time in Carlsbad doing things that supported your addiction. Not anymore. Now, you’ll need to find new things to do and see in and around town. Fortunately, Carlsbad NM is a great place to live a sober life, and the options below are just some of what you can do while staying far away from your old habits.
Explore the Natural Beauty
New Mexico is a beautiful state. That beauty is certainly on display in Carlsbad. You don’t even have to get outside the city limits to find great sights, as the Pecos River is always nearby for a beautiful view.
Even more attractions are found just a short drive from the city. Carlsbad Caverns National Park is one of the highlights of the entire state. Guadalupe Mountains National Park is also not to be missed.
Physical activity is always a positive to support mental health and is great for someone in recovery. Pick one of the countless hiking trails in the area and spend plenty of time out in nature appreciating the world around you.

Enjoy Great Food
Who doesn’t love a great meal? New Mexico has a cuisine all its own and some of those flavors can be found at Carlsbad restaurants. You might already have a few favorites in mind, but be sure to explore some new options as you continue reinventing yourself in the rehab process. Red Chimney BBQ, The Hideout, El Charro, and C&T Donut are just a few of the many options worth your time.
Get Help Through Carlsbad AA and NA Meetings
Support groups are a huge part of recovery. The transition back to “normal” life after going through rehab can be difficult and support groups make it just a little bit easier. Regularly attending meetings will put you together with people who have similar experiences and can share their perspectives.
You will have many options for meetings with groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous when you return to Carlsbad. We’ve listed some groups below to help you get started. Be sure to confirm meeting times and places before attending your first meeting to make sure the information below has not changed.
- Carlsbad Group. Meets at ALANO Club many times throughout the week, including every night at 7:00 pm.
- Singleness of Purpose. Meets at Sunset Church of Christ in Carlsbad. Meetings are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 pm.
- 12 Squared Group. Meets at Grace Episcopal Church in Carlsbad. The meetings are held Mondays at 7:00 pm.
There are many AA and NA groups that meet in and around Carlsbad and this list is far from exhaustive. Find a group that meets near your location at a time that is convenient for your schedule. Attending meetings regularly and building relationships with those in the meetings can be one of the biggest parts of your recovery.
Recovery is an Ongoing Journey
It’s been said many times that recovery doesn’t have a finish line. That’s not to say that you can’t be successful. You can absolutely stay in recovery for the rest of your life, just as many others have done. It simply means that you can never let your guard down or assume that the risk of addiction has passed.
Aftercare is a critical component of every recovery journey. This can mean continuing to take part in therapy sessions, sober living homes, group meetings (as discussed above), and other treatment options. By staying connected with the tools and resources that helped you get into recovery, it’s more likely that you’ll be able to stay on the course for years ahead.
