For Sandoval County residents struggling with alcohol use disorder, Naltrexone offers a scientifically proven path forward. This medication works by blocking opioid receptors in your brain that are responsible for the pleasurable effects of alcohol, making drinking less rewarding and reducing the compulsion to consume alcohol.
What makes Naltrexone particularly appealing is its safety profile—it’s non-addictive, doesn’t produce euphoria, and can be taken orally each day or administered as a monthly injection called Vivitrol. Many patients find that Naltrexone significantly reduces their alcohol cravings within the first few weeks of treatment.
Our providers at Porch Light Health conduct thorough assessments to determine if Naltrexone is appropriate for your situation. We consider your drinking patterns, medical history, treatment goals, and personal preferences when developing your individualized recovery plan.
The opioid epidemic continues to devastate families across New Mexico, but recovery is absolutely possible with the right treatment approach. Suboxone—a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone—has helped hundreds of thousands of people break free from dependence on heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and other opioids.
Suboxone eliminates the agonizing withdrawal symptoms that make quitting opioids so difficult while significantly reducing drug cravings. Unlike full opioid agonists, Suboxone has a “ceiling effect” that prevents overdose when taken as prescribed, making it considerably safer than the drugs it replaces.
When you begin Suboxone treatment at Porch Light Health, you’ll work with experienced medical professionals who understand opioid dependence. We’ll help you through the induction process, find your optimal maintenance dose, and provide ongoing medication management as you progress through recovery.

Every member of our clinical team has specialized training in substance use disorder treatment. We stay current with the latest research, treatment protocols, and best practices to ensure you receive the most effective care available. More importantly, we approach every patient with empathy, understanding that asking for help takes tremendous courage.
Porch Light Health exclusively uses evidence-based treatments recommended by leading medical organizations including SAMHSA and the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Our MAT protocols are grounded in decades of clinical research demonstrating superior outcomes compared to abstinence-only approaches.
We’ve designed our services with accessibility in mind. Whether you live in Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, or more rural parts of Sandoval County, we offer multiple ways to receive care. Telehealth appointments are available for medication management visits after your initial assessment, dramatically reducing travel time and making it easier to maintain treatment consistency.
Navigating insurance coverage for addiction treatment can be confusing. Our knowledgeable staff handles the complexities of verifying benefits, submitting claims, and maximizing your coverage. We work with New Mexico Medicaid (Centennial Care), Medicare, and virtually all private insurance plans. Financial constraints should never prevent access to life-saving treatment.
Medication manages the physical aspects of addiction, but lasting recovery requires addressing underlying emotional and psychological factors. Our behavioral health professionals provide individual counseling, group therapy, and psychiatric support—all seamlessly integrated with your medication management for a truly holistic approach.
Porch Light Health proudly provides medication-assisted treatment to residents throughout Sandoval County, including:
Our New Mexico clinic locations offer convenient access for Sandoval County residents seeking effective treatment for substance use disorders.
Medication-assisted treatment represents the gold standard for treating opioid and alcohol use disorders. Unlike outdated abstinence-only models, MAT recognizes that addiction fundamentally alters brain chemistry—changes that require medical intervention to reverse safely and effectively.
By combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral support, MAT treats the whole person rather than just managing symptoms. This comprehensive strategy leads to significantly better outcomes across every measurable dimension of recovery.
Extensive research demonstrates that patients receiving medication-assisted treatment experience:
Chronic substance use rewires the brain’s reward circuitry and stress response systems. When someone stops using drugs or alcohol, their dysregulated brain chemistry produces intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms that can be nearly impossible to resist through willpower alone.
MAT medications work by stabilizing these disrupted brain systems. Suboxone occupies opioid receptors without producing dangerous euphoria, while Naltrexone blocks the reinforcing effects of alcohol and opioids. With brain chemistry normalized, patients can engage productively in therapy, learn new coping skills, address trauma, and rebuild their lives.
Cost concerns prevent many people from seeking the addiction treatment they desperately need. At Porch Light Health, we work hard to eliminate financial barriers to care.
Most insurance plans provide substantial coverage for medication-assisted treatment:
Our financial counselors will verify your specific benefits, explain any out-of-pocket costs, and help you understand your payment options before you begin treatment. We believe everyone deserves access to effective addiction care regardless of their financial situation.

Many patients can begin medication-assisted treatment during this first visit, starting their recovery immediately rather than waiting days or weeks.
Isn’t MAT just trading one addiction for another?
This common misconception misunderstands both addiction and MAT medications. Suboxone and Naltrexone are prescribed medications taken as directed under medical supervision. They normalize brain function rather than producing intoxication, allowing patients to work, drive, care for families, and live normal lives—things that are impossible during active addiction.
How long does MAT treatment last?
Treatment duration varies significantly among individuals. Some patients benefit from a few months of medication, while others require longer-term treatment—sometimes years. Research clearly shows that longer treatment periods produce better outcomes, and there’s no arbitrary timeline for discontinuing medication. The decision to taper off medication should be made collaboratively between you and your treatment team when you’re ready.
Can I continue working during MAT?
Absolutely. Unlike active addiction, which makes maintaining employment extremely difficult, MAT enables you to function normally. When taken as prescribed, medications like Suboxone and Naltrexone don’t cause impairment or intoxication. Most patients continue working, attending school, and fulfilling family responsibilities throughout treatment.
Is my treatment information kept confidential?
Yes. Addiction treatment receives extraordinary privacy protection under federal law (42 CFR Part 2), which provides even stronger confidentiality safeguards than standard HIPAA regulations. We cannot acknowledge your presence in treatment or share any information about your care without your explicit written authorization.
What if traveling to the clinic is difficult?
We offer telehealth services for appropriate appointments after your initial in-person evaluation. Many medication management visits can be conducted via secure video conferencing, minimizing travel time and making it easier to maintain consistent treatment even with busy schedules or transportation challenges.
Research indicates that approximately half of individuals with substance use disorders also struggle with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. These co-occurring disorders require simultaneous, integrated treatment for optimal recovery outcomes.
Porch Light Health provides comprehensive mental health services alongside addiction treatment:
Treating both conditions together produces better results than addressing either one in isolation, giving you the strongest foundation for lasting recovery.
Living with substance use disorder doesn’t have to be your reality any longer. Whether you’re battling opioid addiction or alcohol dependence, Porch Light Health offers the expert care, proven medications, and compassionate support you need to achieve lasting recovery.
