About Golden Services Villa de Esperanza – Carlsbad
Golden Services Villa de Esperanza is an accredited comprehensive mental health and substance use disorder treatment center. They offer residential and outpatient treatment for adults 18 and over and they offer a special residential treatment program for mothers with children in kindergarten or younger. The center accepts commercial insurance, state funding for the uninsured and Medicaid for several of the programs.
In detox, medical professionals oversee your withdrawal from alcohol or drugs. You’ll have a peer worker to guide you as you go through the process and you’ll have the option of attending daily peer groups. You’ll be given medications if appropriate to ease any uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.
In the residential program you’ll work closely with your care team to develop a recovery plan with your goals and needs in mind. You’ll attend group and individual counseling where you and your therapist can identify any co-occurring disorders such as anxiety or depression. Many people with addiction challenges have underlying mental health concerns. Once identified, you can better manage your mental and physical health. The inpatient program also offers recreational amenities and activities such as workout equipment, arts and crafts and walking along the Pecos River.
If you need further help after discharge from the inpatient program or if you need an intensive program but can’t do an inpatient program then there’s also an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The IOP meets Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. You’ll live at home or in a sober living house while attending the program.
The IOP provides you with the tools and skills necessary to maintain a healthier lifestyle. You’ll also address your underlying mental health issues that make sober living more challenging. The IOP requires nine hours per week of therapy, both individual and group. The typical length of the program is 16 weeks.
Sometimes people need a little support but don’t need an intense inpatient or outpatient program. If that’s the case, the center offers weekly options for group and individual therapy. Some of the group therapy options include anger management, grief and substance use. All of the groups teach valuable skills to enhance self control, build better coping strategies and build supportive connections and relationships.
