Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers In New Mexico

New Mexico has more than 100 different rehabs. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol, drugs, or both, you can find a facility that matches your needs.

As you make a decision, you need to ask about the services each facility offers. Some have special programs geared towards certain people, like those with co-occurring mental disorders, survivors of trauma and abuse, and people coming from the criminal justice system. Some offer outpatient care, in which clients attend treatment during the day. Others offer inpatient care and clients are residents of the facility, anywhere from 30 day to several months.

It’s also important to ask facilities about their payment options. Many rehabs in New Mexico accept Medicaid, private health insurance, state-financed insurance, or federal military insurance. More than 65% of facilities in the state will offer treatment at no charge for people who can’t afford it.

New Mexico has continued to struggle with binge drinking and alcohol abuse, but now drug abuse is also emerging as a pressing problem. In 2014, New Mexico’s drug overdose death rate was the second highest in the nation—26.4 per 100,000 people. A life is lost to drug overdose almost every day in the city of Albuquerque. Overdose deaths statewide decreased in 2015, particularly for prescription opioids, but heroin overdose deaths have continued to increase.

New Mexico—New Prevention Strategies to Save Lives

New Mexico continues to work on prevention strategies, like its Prescription Monitoring Program for opioids and making Narcan available at all pharmacies in order to reverse more opioid overdoses. The state is also working to divert drug offenders into substance abuse treatment rather than the criminal justice system.

As New Mexico focuses more on addiction treatment and improving its systems that are in place, the available rehab options continue to improve. Whether it’s you or a loved one who needs help, call us and we can guide you in finding the right facility in New Mexico: 1-866-207-7436.
