Frequently Asked Questions
Program & Treatment
Why choose us? What makes it different than other addiction treatment centers?

What types of therapies do you use in your addiction treatment programs?
Zia provides "holistic treatment" with a core focus on 12-Step facilitation. While specific therapeutic modalities like CBT or DBT are not listed, the program includes individual and group therapy sessions.
Does this program use the 12-steps, or not use the 12-steps? Smart recovery? Celebrate recovery?
Yes, the 12-Steps are a vital component of the treatment model. Daily participation in 12-Step community meetings is a required part of the program.
Do you treat co-occurring mental disorders? / How do you treat dual diagnosis?
The facility does not explicitly detail its approach to treating dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. For specific information, it is best to contact their admissions team directly.
Is the program faith-based?
While the program is heavily based on the 12-Steps, which involve a spiritual component ("Higher Power"), it is not affiliated with any specific religion and is not considered a faith-based program.
How long has this facility been open?
Zia Recovery Center was founded and has been offering services since 2017.
Cost & Admission
Do you accept insurance for substance use disorder treatment?
Yes, Zia Recovery Center is in-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and Presbyterian. They also work with New Mexico Medicaid and may be able to work with other providers on an out-of-network basis.
What will my costs be for treatment?
For those paying out-of-pocket, the estimated cost is approximately $850 per day, or around $25,000 for a 30-day residential stay. It is best to call for an exact quote based on your needs and any potential insurance coverage.
Do you provide detoxification services?
Yes, "Withdrawal Management" (detox) is the first step in their continuum of care, providing medical supervision to ensure safety.
Is Suboxone (MAT) permitted?
The facility's policy on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) like Suboxone is not specified. Please contact their admissions team directly for information on their MAT protocols.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment?
Detox is the first stage of treatment, focused on safely clearing drugs or alcohol from the body under medical supervision, usually lasting a few days to a week. Once stabilized, clients often transition to residential treatment, a structured live-in program that provides 24/7 support, therapy, education, and daily routines aimed at addressing the root causes of addiction. After completing residential care, many step down to IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program), which offers continued therapy and skill-building while living at home—typically a few hours per day, several days per week—to help clients maintain sobriety and reintegrate into everyday life with ongoing accountability.
