You should also bring essential personal hygiene products (alcohol-free), your ID and insurance card, any prescription medications in their original bottles, and a list of important phone numbers.

Support, Staff & Community
Information on the care team, family involvement, and peer environment.
The clinical team consists of on-site nurses and licensed counselors. Medical oversight is provided by doctors or nurse practitioners who connect with clients virtually. There are no on-staff psychiatrists or psychologists.
The program is co-ed for adults (18+). Each house has a capacity of 15 clients, creating a small, intimate community. The clientele is a mix of individuals with NM Medicaid and private insurance, all working toward recovery together.
To help clients remain focused on their personal recovery journey, on-site family visitation is not permitted during the residential program.
Icarus provides robust aftercare planning. Support options include stepping down to their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), their unique Aftercare with Housing program, and connection to a supportive alumni program.
Inpatient and outpatient addiction treatments differ primarily in their level of intensity and living arrangements. Inpatient treatment requires you to live at a residential facility 24/7, offering a highly structured, immersive, and medically supervised environment completely removed from outside triggers. Standard outpatient treatment, in contrast, allows you to live at home and attend scheduled therapy sessions at a clinic, providing more flexibility to manage work or family life while in recovery. An aftercare program that combines outpatient services with housing is a step-down level of care, often called sober living, where you reside in a supportive, substance-free home with peers while still attending regular outpatient therapy, helping to bridge the gap between intensive inpatient care and returning to full independence.
