Substance abuse issues and problems with mental health rob your ability to lead a fulfilling life. Unfortunately, finding the path to a better quality of life free of the stressful cycles can be challenging to do on your own. When you recognize that you or a loved one needs help, an intensive outpatient program in Albuquerque may be the answer.

Vanguard Behavioral Health is here when you are ready to take the next steps. We offer an intensive outpatient therapy center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Vanguard strives to be the saving grace for people ready to make a change for the better, so we extend our hand to give clients access to the levels of care that work for them. Both centers offer outpatient mental health treatment and outpatient addiction treatment, as well as help for people who need dual diagnosis treatment.

A Closer Look at Intensive Outpatient Programs

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are a form of outpatient behavioral health treatment. Instead of committing to a residential program that involves around-the-clock supervision or partial hospitalization, IOP programs allow clients to meet several times a week for therapy. For clients who are confident they can recover with less intense treatment, IOP can be a good fit.

Through group therapy, one-on-one therapy and other recommended facets of treatment, clients tackle their issues and learn how to achieve their personal goals. Outpatient treatment for mental health or substance abuse can be highly effective for the right individual. Clients are offered the same professional guidance, but in a less supervised way. Further, they retain the flexibility to handle employment, school or familial responsibilities in the process.

Vanguard offers a wholly tailored approach to IOP. We offer dual diagnosis treatment, which means our skilled team is equipped to cater to clients with co-existing mental health and addiction challenges. We treat clients that are dealing with a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD or trauma, and bipolar disorder. However, we can also help clients facing problems overcoming an addiction to substances such as methamphetamines, benzodiazepines and opioids.

Mental Health and Drug Treatment in Albuquerque

The key to successful mental health or substance abuse treatment is having a unique tailored plan that is built for the individual. Vanguard assesses each person on an individual basis to get a good understanding of their needs and struggles. No matter whether an individual is dealing with mental health issues, addiction or both, we use our diverse collection of services to help them take those important steps in the right direction.

Mental Health Treatment

Disregarding your mental health is easy, even if you take good care of your physical body. However, taking care of your mind is just as important. There is no shame in needing help for mental health conditions. Sometimes, achieving a healthy mental state takes the guidance of a professional or even a team of professionals. Therapies such as intensive residential programs, one-on-one therapy or even medication may help you find a more peaceful emotional state.

Addiction Treatment

Substance abuse disorder usually means an individual is stuck in an ongoing cycle of risky behaviors and using substances that cause harm. Unfortunately, even though many people caught in addiction want to quit, the substance has such control that quitting leads to overwhelming physical and emotional distress. Adequate interventional therapy, both medical and psychological in many cases, is the only effective way to recover.

“I can’t thank the staff enough for all their help & support during my journey.”

I came to Vanguard Behavioral with the hope to find a place for me to start over. I was homeless, completely dependent on a substance, and all out of ideas on how to fix my situation. I came in not knowing what to expect, but what I found was a full support team of professionals who really do care about the client. I can’t say enough good things about them….

…I can’t thank the staff enough for all their help and support during my journey. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without their support and care.

“The most effective & compassionate rehab in the state of New Mexico.”

Vanguard is by far the most effective and compassionate rehab in the state of New Mexico. My experience here has changed my life forever for the better. I now have a job at top golf and I’m moving into an apartment and that is directly a result of all of the work that the clinicians and the staff did with my on my mental health and my drug addiction. I spent 90 days here at Vanguard and God has blessed me in so many ways. I want to thank all of the staff for everything they have accomplished in helping people leave their substance use behind.
