About San Luis Valley Behavioral Health – Alamosa
San Luis Valley Behavioral Health’s County Road location is an outpatient rehab located in Alamosa, Colorado. They offer treatment for anyone with a mental health diagnosis and/or substance use disorder. They also offer 24/7 crisis intervention services to help you in the case of overdose, relapse, or other emergencies you or a loved one face. They accept patients of all ages and can provide transport to and from certain treatment programs.
San Luis Valley Behavioral Health runs several locations around San Luis Valley, and they even have a mobile health unit to make treatment as accessible as possible. The County Road location serves as their main office.
Their program includes using medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in conjunction with counseling and therapy to provide whole-person healing. The medications are used to manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, making it easier to remain sober and work on changing any behavior patterns that lead to substance misuse.
They have traditional therapy options. One unique approach they offer is AcuDetox. This is a type of acupuncture that can reduce stress and trauma while improving your withdrawal management and mental health.
They also use a technique known as eye movement desensitization and reprogramming (EMDR), which can help you work through traumatic events that are holding you back from full recovery. This method involves following a moving light with your eyes while slowly talking through the difficult event. The movement of your eyes helps your brain reprocess the traumatic memory and remove the large emotional response it evokes, giving you peace so you can move forward.
