Turquoise Lodge Hospital, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, offers a comprehensive range of services, including medical detoxification, inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and aftercare services. 

The center is a specialized drug rehabilitation facility catering to young adults, adults with children, individuals involved in child custody disputes, and pregnant and postpartum women. The center offers a comprehensive range of services, including medical detoxification, inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and aftercare services.

Upon admission, clients undergo a thorough evaluation and are assigned to a dedicated case management team. The medical detoxification process utilizes FDA-approved medications such as methadone and buprenorphine to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Clients receive 24/7 supervision to prevent relapse, with detox typically lasting between 5 to 7 days. This structured and supportive environment ensures that each client receives the highest standard of care tailored to their specific needs.

Following detoxification, clients transition into an inpatient program at Turquoise Lodge Hospital, typically lasting up to 30 days. During this phase, clients engage in social therapy, group and individual counseling, and holistic care. The program also offers community and family services aimed at building life skills and fostering healthy daily routines.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) extends over three to six months, with clients meeting several times each week. This program provides peer support, helps clients develop coping skills, and addresses co-occurring symptoms.

Turquoise Lodge Hospital is committed to providing continuous care and support. A crisis hotline is available 24/7, and referrals to external facilities and programs can be arranged as needed, ensuring comprehensive and ongoing assistance for clients.
