Rio Vista Behavioral Health: Integrated Care for Mental Health and Addiction
Rio Vista Behavioral Health provides state-of-the-art inpatient psychiatric and detoxification services for adults, adolescents, and children in the El Paso, Texas, area. Understanding that mental health and substance abuse often co-exist, Rio Vista employs a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses both conditions simultaneously. This commitment to dual diagnosis treatment ensures patients receive deeper healing and build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.
Specialized Detoxification Services
For individuals requiring immediate support to safely cease substance use, Rio Vista offers a dedicated, stand-alone medical detoxification program. This critical first step in recovery allows patients to rid their bodies and minds of harmful substances under careful medical supervision in a supportive and secure environment. Following successful detoxification, patients can seamlessly transition into higher levels of care provided by the hospital, as the goal is always to treat the underlying mental health disorder alongside secondary substance abuse issues.
Addictions and Treatment Approach
While all patients must have a primary diagnosis of a mental health disorder to receive care, Rio Vista is equipped to treat a variety of substance use disorders as a secondary concern. The facility recognizes the importance of treating co-occurring disorders to achieve meaningful recovery outcomes. The individualized treatment plans are designed to help patients manage both their psychiatric symptoms and dependency issues simultaneously, facilitating a more successful path toward wellness.
Common addictions addressed as a secondary concern include:
- Alcohol
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Meth
- Benzodiazepines
- Prescription painkillers
