Detox is a medically supervised process that safely clears drugs or alcohol from the body, while carefully managing withdrawal symptoms to protect health and comfort.
Medical detox programs are considered the crucial first step in addiction treatment because they stabilize individuals physically, preparing them for therapy and ongoing care.
Our New Mexico team at Longview Recovery is here to make sure you get the proper care you need for long-term healing, including detox and ongoing care.
At Longview Recovery, we understand that medical detox programs do more than ease withdrawal – they safeguard lives and lay the groundwork for lasting recovery.

Our medical detox programs are not isolated steps – they’re carefully integrated into the full continuum of addiction treatment. Detox prepares individuals physically and mentally for deeper recovery work offered in inpatient and outpatient programs.
Our inpatient programs extend the stabilization achieved during detox, diving deeper into the psychological roots of addiction and providing the structure necessary for lasting change.
After successfully completing medical detox programs and residential treatment, individuals often transition into outpatient services such as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP).
These programs continue providing therapeutic support, structure, and accountability while allowing individuals to gradually resume their daily responsibilities.

By practicing these techniques during detox, individuals enter their next phase of treatment feeling more capable and empowered, setting the stage for deeper healing.
Family relationships often suffer due to addiction, making their healing critical to successful recovery. At Longview Recovery, medical detox programs actively involve family members, creating opportunities to rebuild trust and communication from the outset.
Our approach includes family meetings facilitated by trained professionals, providing a safe space to discuss the impact of addiction openly and honestly. Family members learn how they can support their loved one’s recovery while also addressing their own needs.
This early intervention can significantly enhance the likelihood of sustained recovery and healthier family dynamics in the long run.
Medical detox programs at Longview Recovery also integrate holistic practices designed to support whole-person wellness.
Our wilderness-inspired setting naturally promotes calm, healing, and reflection, helping individuals reconnect with themselves and their environment.

Detox typically lasts between 5 and 10 days, but this can vary based on your health, the substance involved, and how long you’ve been struggling with symptoms. Our team will assess your unique situation to provide a clear timeline tailored to you.
Medical detox programs use various treatments, including:
Each client receives care tailored specifically to their symptoms and substance use history.
Without medical support, detox can be uncomfortable or even dangerous. Withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines can lead to severe complications.
Professional detox ensures:
Professional medical detox programs not only keep you physically safe but also prepare you emotionally for ongoing recovery. Trying to detox alone increases relapse risk and could lead to serious health complications.
Longview Recovery understands that overcoming substance use disorder is a complex journey that extends far beyond the initial detoxification phase.
While medical detox is a crucial first step in safely managing withdrawal, true and lasting healing requires addressing the underlying issues that contribute to addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions.
We offer a range of evidence-based and holistic therapies designed to address the multifaceted nature of addiction and mental health disorders.
CBT is a cornerstone of our treatment approach, focusing on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance use and mental health issues.
Through CBT, individuals learn to recognize triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and improve their emotional regulation skills. This therapy empowers clients to challenge distorted thinking and make positive changes in their lives.
DBT is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties, which often accompany substance use and co-occurring disorders.
DBT skills training focuses on mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, providing individuals with practical tools to manage difficult situations and build healthier relationships.
This therapy helps process traumatic memories and reduce their lingering impact, allowing individuals to move forward without being held captive by their past experiences.
MI empowers clients to take ownership of their journey and build confidence in their ability to achieve their goals.
Group sessions offer a safe space to practice new skills, gain valuable insights, and build a strong support network.
Recognizing that healing encompasses more than just addressing psychological and behavioral issues, Longview Recovery integrates a variety of holistic therapies into our treatment plans.
These may include yoga, meditation, art therapy, and mindfulness practices, which promote overall well-being by addressing the mind-body connection and fostering emotional balance.
At Longview Recovery, we emphasize that seeking professional help isn’t a weakness – it’s the safest, most effective way to begin your recovery. Attempting detox without professional support increases relapse risk and can lead to serious health complications.
Our medical detox programs offer compassionate, expert support in a peaceful, nature-inspired environment. Here, you’ll find the strength and stability needed to begin your healing journey.
Choosing professional medical detox is a critical step toward lasting recovery. If you’re ready to improve your health, relationships, and quality of life, Longview Recovery is here to guide you every step of the way.
