If you're searching for support in Las Cruces, New Mexico or Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California, we’re here to guide you through every step.

What Happens in the First 30 Days of Treatment?

The first month of recovery is about getting grounded. Here's what you can typically expect when starting with ALT Recovery Group:

1. Initial Assessment and Personalized Planning

Your journey begins with a private, one-on-one intake session. We’ll talk about your health history, current situation, and goals. There’s no pressure to know everything. We’re here to listen and build a plan with you, not for you.

2. Supportive Medical and Emotional Care

Early recovery can come with challenges physically and emotionally. You’ll receive consistent check-ins, compassionate care, and access to professionals who understand how to help you manage withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and emotional shifts.

3. Counseling and Connection

You’ll start attending counseling individually or in groups. These sessions aren’t just about “talking it out.” They’re about helping you reconnect with who you are and giving you tools to stay steady on tough days. Recovery is personal, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

4. Progress, Not Perfection

Every step forward counts. Whether it’s showing up for an appointment or simply choosing not to use those moments matter. At ALT, we celebrate progress, no matter how small.

Your Journey is Your Own But You’re Not Alone

No two recovery paths look the same. What matters is that you take the first step and keep going at your pace. Whether you’re brand new to treatment or returning after a break, your story matters, and we’re here to help you write the next chapter.
