Bernalillo County Department of Behavioral Health Services CARE Campus

The CARE Campus provides medically supervised detox services as the foundation of their addiction treatment continuum. Their detox program offers safe withdrawal management with 24-hour medical oversight, allowing individuals to begin recovery in a stable, monitored environment. This medical detox component connects seamlessly to their residential treatment options.

The Mariposa Residential Program serves as the primary inpatient treatment track, providing intensive therapy and support during early recovery. Residents benefit from structured programming that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, group sessions, and comprehensive assessment services. The residential treatment program prepares participants for successful transition to outpatient care or community-based recovery support.

Young adults face unique challenges in recovery, and the CARE Campus addresses these through their dedicated Young Adult Program. This specialized track recognizes that individuals in their late teens and twenties often need different approaches than older adults, focusing on issues like educational disruption, family relationships, and early career development.

The young adult programming combines traditional addiction treatment with age-appropriate support services. Participants engage in peer groups with others facing similar life stage challenges while accessing the full range of campus services including detox, residential care, and outpatient support. This population-specific approach improves engagement and long-term recovery outcomes for emerging adults.

The CARE Campus outpatient clinic allows individuals to receive ongoing addiction treatment while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. This flexibility proves essential for people transitioning from residential care or those whose situations allow them to live at home during treatment. The outpatient program includes individual and group therapy sessions using cognitive behavioral therapy approaches.

Beyond traditional outpatient services, the facility operates mobile crisis teams and provides community-based support including Narcan distribution and needle pickup programs. These services extend the recovery community's reach throughout Bernalillo County, ensuring that support remains available even outside the campus walls. The Living Room Program offers additional crisis intervention when individuals need immediate assistance.

Recovery extends far beyond initial treatment, and the CARE Campus recognizes this through their Supportive After Care (SAC) program. This structured aftercare component helps individuals maintain their recovery progress while rebuilding their lives in the community. SAC participants receive ongoing counseling, relapse prevention support, and connection to community resources.

The Resource Re-entry Program specifically addresses the practical challenges of returning to daily life after residential treatment. This program helps with housing, employment, education, and other stability factors that support long-term recovery. Combined with the facility's crisis stabilization services, these aftercare components create a comprehensive alumni network focused on sustained sobriety and community reintegration.
