How We Treat Opioid Use Disorder
Our program in Las Cruces, New Mexico, helps adults (18+) safely steer their lives away from opioid use disorder (OUD) without the fear of withdrawal. We offer 30-, 60-, and 90-day residential stays, followed by outpatient care, giving you ample time to heal at your own pace.
Opioid addiction often stems from a way to manage physical or emotional pain. Many people’s first experience is with prescription opioids, which are effective for managing chronic pain when under the supervision of a medical professional. However, their incredibly addictive nature makes it easy to rely on them to numb yourself from all kinds of pain, until drug use becomes second nature as a means of coping with everyday stress.
The team at Zia Recovery Center understands the absolute grip these drugs can have on your brain. We keep a low client-to-staff ratio to ensure you’re getting the care and attention you need. Your personalized opioid addiction treatment program will include evidence-based therapies to treat physical dependency and the underlying mental health conditions that may be driving addiction. We’re here to help you stop surviving dose to dose and start living with the things and people you love most.
Opioid Addiction Treatment & Support in New Mexico

Our Opioid
Treatment Programs
Conquering opioid addiction requires a complete overhaul: you’ll need to focus on physical, emotional, and behavioral health more than ever. We’re the health care providers to help you maintain that focus so you never have to go back to opioids controlling your life.
Evidence-Based Treatment Plans
Our opioid treatment programs are built with the individual in mind, not a specific substance, medication, or even mental health condition. We focus on what you want your future to look like with a roadmap that changes with you. Our intake process includes comprehensive assessments of your current state. These will determine what options will serve you best. Whether it’s more community-based care to help with loneliness or a more medical intervention through addiction medicine, you’ll have exactly what you need.
Mental Health & Behavioral Therapy
There are emotional roots to your dependency that are hard to see on your own. We uncover them together through one-on-one individual and group therapies. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches help you break destructive loops. You’ll learn how to sit with uncomfortable emotions and study them, without fear or the need to reach for a substance to make them go away automatically. We may also involve counselor-led support groups and dedicated sessions for family members, depending on your comfort level and goals.
Dual Diagnosis Support
We know that if we don’t address the mental health struggles beneath the surface, the desire to numb the pain will come back. We offer various types of treatment that help you heal from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders, including psychiatry for medications if needed. Opioid use is also commonly connected to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other conditions that present similar challenges. Our clinicians use trauma-informed care modalities focusing on giving you the care you need with the compassion you deserve.
Relapse Prevention
We reduce the chances of relapse by giving you healthy strategies for managing stress. You’ll learn to identify your specific triggers; instead of relying on willpower, you’ll have a clear-cut plan for protecting your sobriety — one you’ve practiced and even helped build with your health care team. We practice these skills through real-world role-playing and guided exposure therapies. When cravings inevitably come once you’re finished with our program, you’ll have a much healthier automatic reflex that isn’t drug use.
Aftercare Planning
Transitioning back to everyday life is an extremely vulnerable time. Our team ensures you’re ready with aftercare planning and our Community Aftercare Program, which includes connecting to our alumni network. You’ll always have peers and mentors to help on the hardest days.
Treatment Options for Opioid Dependence
Recovery is a series of choices you make again and again. We offer a seamless transition through each level of care to help you continue making the right ones, even if they’re hard.
Opioid Withdrawal Management
You do not have to suffer to heal, and we don’t want you to. We manage your symptoms through our withdrawal management program, ensuring your physical and mental well-being are stable every step of the way. Our addiction medicine specialists will use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to alleviate many of the hardest symptoms of withdrawal.
Inpatient Rehab
Our inpatient opioid treatment programs provide a trigger-free environment for 30 to 90 days. Living on our Las Cruces campus gives you the time and freedom you need to understand the core of your substance abuse while your brain relearns to produce its own natural endorphins.
Each day has plenty of structure centering around clinical group therapy, one-on-one sessions, holistic wellness activities, and peer support meetings. Idle time can often lead to more intense cravings, and we keep you occupied with the healthiest schedule possible to avoid them altogether.
IOP
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are the ideal middle ground, a hybrid of inpatient and outpatient treatment options. You’ll live in supportive sober housing while being slowly reintroduced into your daily life, giving you a place to test your new coping skills and decompress every evening. This phase is where you build your personal scaffolding before you return to work or school. You’ll still receive up to 15 hours of clinical and community-based support every week while being able to leave the facility.
Outpatient Treatment
This is the final step down in care: standard outpatient treatment through weekly therapy check-ins. It’s a consistent sounding board with a health care professional you’ve grown to know and trust while still honoring your hard-won independence from opioid use disorder. This is also the phase when you’ll apply newfound emotional regulation tools in a much more tangible and consistent way. Treatments that include medication-assisted treatment will continue, and our medical staff will manage your prescriptions to ensure your physical cravings never get in the way of your progress.

Co-Occurring Disorders Treated Alongside SUD
Substance use disorders often go together with depression and other co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety and bipolar disorder. This is the brain’s attempt at self-medicating the very real emotional pain that can even manifest as physical discomfort. We treat both conditions simultaneously, guaranteeing that when the numbness from opioids wears off, you’ll have the support you need to handle whatever comes your way.

Signs You or a Loved One Needs Effective Treatment
The use of opioids can escalate from a solution for acute or chronic pain into a life-threatening addiction. Recognizing when it’s time for professional treatment services can save a life. If your entire day revolves around securing, using, or recovering from drug use, or if you find yourself constantly lying to your loved ones about your usage, the substance has taken control.
Risk Factors for Opioid Overdose
Opioids actively suppress the respiratory system. This makes the risk of a fatal drug overdose incredibly high, especially with the lethal presence of fentanyl in today’s drug supply. If you’re experiencing agonizing withdrawal symptoms or dangerous physical side effects, like difficulty breathing or chronic pain, you are severely at risk for overdose. Even if you’re using just to avoid the sickness, remember — this is a dangerous gamble with your life on the line, and you don’t have to buy in.
The tragic reality is that tolerance plummets even after just a few days of abstinence; if you relapse and use your previous regular dose, the risk of fatal opioid overdose skyrockets. You need monitored care from health care professionals to get through this period safely.

There’s no shame in admitting you need help. A compassionate way out of opioid addiction is waiting for you; don’t let fear and pain stop you from taking your life back. Reach out to our addiction center. We understand how complex opioid dependency is, and we have everything you need to break free.

FAQ
If applicable to your care, our medical team may use FDA-approved medications, including naltrexone or buprenorphine. These are both proven to ease withdrawal symptoms and drastically reduce physical cravings.
Inpatient treatment, also called residential treatment, involves living full-time at our facility. You still live at home during outpatient treatment or in sober housing while attending scheduled therapy sessions during the week, organized by your clinical team.
Everyone has a different timeline for their healing, but long-term treatment is usually best for those with opioid use disorder. We offer flexible 30-, 60-, and 90-day residential stays, so you can choose the amount of time that you need. Each residential stay is followed by ongoing outpatient care.
Yes. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is incredibly safe when administered and monitored by a licensed medical professional. Clinical evidence suggests that it can significantly increase the chances of long-term recovery while also preventing fatal overdoses.
Buprenorphine is a specialized medication that binds to the brain’s opioid receptors. It’s useful for stopping painful withdrawal symptoms and intense cravings, but it also doesn’t produce a euphoric high. Clients can function normally and focus on therapy without their brains actively working against them.
