About Guidance Center of Lea County

Guiding Center of Lea County offers comprehensive addiction treatment services to adults and adolescents in Hobbs, New Mexico. Based on each person’s requirements and preferences, they provide a variety of flexible engagement options such as telehealth appointments, virtual sessions, and in-person visits.

They base their offerings on critical services like screening, assessment, and care coordination navigation. By assisting patients in their treatment process, these services help create personalized recovery and aftercare plans. Intensive outpatient therapy (IOP) that uses targeted drug treatment and group, family, and individual therapy are all part of their outpatient wellness programs.

Serving patients of all ages, their Behavioral Health Medication Clinic is a crucial part of their strategy. In accordance with evidence-based medical management, they offer comprehensive assessments for mental health and drug addiction conditions. Adhering to an integrative philosophy, this clinic promotes overall wellness by combining medication counseling therapy with encouragement to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Peer support programs are vital in this setting. People in recovery can find inspiration and guidance from those who have successfully handled comparable life circumstances. Due to their training and personal experience, Certified Peer Support Workers assist individuals in reaching their recovery objectives. To promote a supportive family dynamic, family peer support workers are also crucial. Their area of expertise is strengthening relationships with others and offering families wellness coaching.

Moreover, their LEAD program is a revolutionary approach to tackling substance related behaviors. This community approach provides an alternative to punitive measures by offering individuals the choice to receive harm reduction interventions rather than being arrested or placed in jail. The goal of this program is to empower police officers to divert individuals from the criminal justice system in order to reduce the stigma and harm associated with substance use disorders. Everyone can thus receive the assistance they need to prosper.

Medical briefcase icon 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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide robust support for clients who choose to remain in their own homes or who are reintegrating into their community following inpatient care. IOP treatment generally consists of a combination of individual, group, and family counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and evidence-based holistic therapies. Many intensive outpatient rehabs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients in alcohol and/or opioid recovery. Clients in IOP typically receive nine to 20 hours of treatment weekly.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

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 iconMental Health

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

Employees dislike their jobs, clearly. I believe this center their low standards are due to the lack of competition in the area, so both employees and patients suffer in here

I brought my daughter in when she asked for help. They saw her that day and set her up with a social worker of sorts. This person promised to be there for her and help her learn how to cope. She saw her three times, randomly, and never took the time to actually get to know her to help her. The counselor they got her with, six weeks after her first visit, for a 30 minute zoom call. She asked her over and over how she felt and if she felt like hurting herself. There was no actual therapy. The last time she had an appointment, they called my 14 year old on her phone at school, something she was uncomfortable with. So I called to get her appointment info and they told me I was not allowed to know anything because she's old enough to make her own decisions. 14!? Now we are a year later and she is worse than before and no one seems to care because she hasn't actually hurt herself yet. Horrible.

Hello just wanted to say that the guidance center is a good place to get help especially in the department of CareLink services because of the peer support system they have which they didn t have back then ,now that they have it I have had a really great experience with Jessica Navarro she has helped me out in so many ways in my life with my mental health issues that I have she is really great at what she does. She was there when my brother recently passed away she helped me get through it she was there at the funeral for support I really appreciate having her as my peer support. She is an amazing person that I can talk to when I m feeling down . I have seen a lot of changes in myself since I ve been meeting with her and I really don t know what I would do without her. She is really a great an amazing Human being.

When I first came to the guidance center I was lost and reeling. I was basically homeless, with no direction of where to go or what to do. I was assigned a peer support worker, Jessica Navarro. She hasn't just been my peer support, she's been a friend, counselor. I recently received the keys to my own home, and am about to start a new job. My children and I have a home and a bright future. I don't know where I'd be without the help and support I've received from God, Jessica, and the guidance center center as a whole.

From the beginning of my service with Guidance Center I was treated with respect and nonjudgmental professionalism. I was homeless and didn't know how to obtain any direction in which to go for mental health and extra support services which was excellent in their ability to help another person in need. I am very thankful for their consideration and help getting my life back together. They are an excellent group at CareLink, in particular Mrs. Toni Blea. I suggest if you need mental health assistance they are always there to help. God Bless

I was a patient of Dr. Monteverde's for quite some time and he retired come end of June this year. I realize that people have to retire and he will be sorely missed. He was the best part of the guidance center. I struggle with major depressive disorder and it has been a real battle. Battles with mental health are very real however they are subjective also. I have been treated pretty well by the staff but I have also met some negativity by other staff members. TBH I feel that the staff collectively needs to meet the vision that the founders had in place as some members would have been better off to stay home or look for a job that fits them better. Patients, better than anyone else, can tell if the staff does or does not g.a.f. You're not dealing with idiots. You are dealing with people that genuinely need help. It is unfortunate that there is no competition in place that genuinely cares about their patients in a way that the patient can pick up on. For this reason, I give you a two star rating.

absolutely apathic staff does not care about you at all. Called for information, was met with sigh after sigh and a receptionist that clearly does not care about patients or her job. If your dealing with mental health you shouldn't make people feel like their a burden.

They have reschedule my loved one twice. They are unable to notify anyone ahead of time. My loved one showed up and was told the counselor was not in . He wasted his time, effort , and drove from out of town only to be no showed by the provider for the second time this year. These patients work up courage to come change their lives and the environment at the Hobbs location is not conducive to positive change. Patients are better off schedule a zoom appt with an out of town provider rather than wasting their time getting rescheduled at the last minute. Not impressed

They just give out meds and don t actually help with trauma. And as a minor I was treated as if my problems were fictional or caused by my gosh darn phone. don t recommend

This place will only help you if you're struggling with addiction. Once you're in recovery, they could care less about your mental health. You ask for help multiple times and get none. It's ok though, help has been found elsewhere and treatment is finally being given where it was so desperately needed before. Way to go on failing someone in need!
