About Gallup Indian Medical Center

Gallup Indian Medical Center provides emergency, primary and behavioral health services for clients of all ages in Gallup, New Mexico. They’re a 99 bed hospital located on the Najavo Reservation border. In addition to providing inpatient and outpatient services, they also operate a 24 hour nurse line. To receive care here, you’ll need to be enrolled in a federally recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribe.

Their behavioral health department can help you overcome a variety of conditions including PTSD, depression and anxiety. They also provide treatment for co-occurring conditions like drug or alcohol addictions. They have protocols in place that allow clients to begin medication assisted treatment in their emergency department and then continue those services at home or in one of their outpatient clinics.

Though the program is currently inactive, they participated in the city’s Behavioral Health Collaborative for years, starting in 2017. This program brought together multiple local agencies that offered addiction treatment, allowing them to meet together and discuss ways to better serve their local community.

Great hospital!!! My wife had chest pains as we were going to bed at the hotel we went the this er they were very nice to us. It is an Indian hospital we are not Indian we just went to the first hospital the gps pulled up. Glad we did she was treated great. They were very informative and listened to all of our concerns and answered all of our questions. They were able to treat her so that we could go home to our doctor and even made sure to provide information in the discharge papers that her doc would need. I am very thankful that is the er we walked into that night.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

When you participate in cognitive behavioral therapy in New Mexico you can expect to follow a structured four step process. This involves identifying life challenges, identifying inaccurate thinking about those challenges, changing those thought patterns to healthy ones, and changing the resulting behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational interviewing can help you resolve indecisive feelings and develop the confidence to make changes. It is a short term counseling method that offers empathy and practical support and is often used as part of drug and alcohol rehab in New Mexico.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Substance use disorders disrupt thinking and behavior patterns, which interferes with critical life skills. Drug rehab programs in New Mexico include life skills training to allow you to rebuild those skills. You'll relearn how to think, behave, and interact with others in healthy ways so you can successfully navigate daily life.

Drug rehab in New Mexico may include a focus on nutrition therapy. This treatment involves input from your healthcare providers and a nutritionist. They will help you develop a dietary plan that supports your recovery process.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Often, cravings and withdrawal symptoms stop people from giving up tobacco. Nicotine replacement therapy in New Mexico helps with these symptoms, so the process is more comfortable. To quit smoking, you may want to consider these therapies, which include medications, inhalers, sprays, patches, and gum.

I finally was able to see an orthopedic doctor after months of waiting. The doctor was Asian, I don't remember his name. He pretty much dismissed me, and his solution for my pain and problem with my knee was a black bulky knee brace. I was told that I should be happy because of my age and that's all he could do. What sticks out in my mind was the quick, fast assessment. He didn't see or hear me. Also, the nurse's comment, "He sees the most patience than any other doctor at the hospital." Of course he does. So sad because I'm still hurting and my quality of life is declining. I needed a better solution and some real, quality, compassionate care. So sad.

This review is very specifically directed at one individual, not this entity as a whole. This is about a phone call received at 3 am this morning, at our home/business, from one of your nurses, Peter Hunt-Rosado, demanding information on a wrecked vehicle. Apparently an elderly woman was being released from the hospital after a car accident and he wanted info on her vehicle. Our phone tree clearly states for people that are calling on wrecked or stored vehicles to leave a message with vehicle type, tow date, etc and wait for a call back. He, Peter, instead presses 1 for EMERGENCY towing and roadside assistance. When he was asked to call back during regular business hours, as the car was completely undrivable, he called me rude and started arguing with me about our process. We are family owned and operated, and have elderly here in the home as well, and do not appreciate the harassment at 3 am. As I am sure your establishment has procedures in place, and for a reason. Furthermore, it needs to be the vehicle owner or the owner's power of attorney to retrieve vehicle info for future reference.

ER is a major wait.... But over all, once they check you in. It's a normal time to wait. Being patient is the Key. Be Peaceable to all. Things will work out.
