Information on Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Housing
Recovery Housing Report
The Department of Health, Housing, and Homelessness recently commissioned a report on recovery housing in Albuquerque. This new report, released in June 2024, assesses the landscape of recovery housing in Albuquerque and its capacity while also making recommendations.
What is Recovery Housing
The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines recovery housing as safe, healthy, family-like, substance-free living environments that support individuals in their recovery from addiction.
Why?
This study supports the city's commitment to recovery housing and informs our strategic plan to bolster recovery housing.
Recovery Housing Report Findings
The report finds Albuquerque has 18 recovery housing providers, with about 800 beds available. All facilities range from levels 2 to 4.

The new report further evaluates the need for expansion and barriers to access.

The University of New Mexico Office of Community Health, in partnership with the Bernalillo County Department of Behavioral Health Services CARE Campus, A New Awakening, First Nations Community Healthsource, Casa de Salud, Fathers Building Futures, and Albuquerque Center for Hope and Recovery provides an innovative and coordinated interagency approach to work with high-need clients at various points of entry.
The program engages community agencies that serve people experiencing problems related to alcohol and substance use and expands their capacity to also address medical and social needs including behavioral health care and substance use treatment. The ICM program aims to increase interagency collaboration to provide intensive case management services by deploying community health workers with specialized training in the role of intensive case managers. By promoting autonomy and self-determination, intensive case managers collaborate with clients to assess their specific needs and develop individualized service plans that outline the steps that will lead to improved personal health and wellbeing.
This project serves some of the most at-risk, underserved, and marginalized members of our community. For more information, please contact Jennider Garcia at: [email protected] or phone: 505-433-7418.
