Mental & Behavioral Healthcare Support in Sandoval County
You’ll need a referral to be seen here, but veterans can seek help here regardless of whether you’re eligible or enrolled in VA healthcare. Same-day help and walk-in services are available for all clients.
The team here can support you with a range of mental, behavioral, and social issues, including aggressive or self-harming behaviors, and addiction. Emergency care for individuals experiencing suicidal ideation is also available. Clients can access consultation, evaluation, and treatment for these issues and individual and group therapy.
Group therapy can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing substance abuse issues because it provides a safe, non-judgmental space where you can give and receive insights from their peers, along with accountability on your recovery journey. Therapy includes behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), and motivational enhancement approaches.
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also offered, using meds like FDA-approved methadone, buprenorphine, and buprenorphine combination products like Suboxone, and injectable naltrexone. Other meds are prescribed to treat alcoholism and quit smoking. Prescriptions are typically combined with therapy for holistic care, while the meds help individuals manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms to lessen the risk of relapse and death.
