New Mexico Resources


There are various Medicaid, medicare and medi-cal programs found in New Mexico. These programs provide additional medical support to those in need. Those that are suffering from addiction though, may have a harder time. New Mexico understands the epidemic that is currently ongoing and are looking to address it.

Nearly $3 million was given to the state to not only increase the training that those medical professionals receive to provide treatment and addiction support to those in house. These funds are also something that can be used to provide additional support to those that need to go through therapy, counseling or to get medication-related support to overcome their drug addiction.

The resources provided below are there to provide more information regarding the medicare, Medicaid and medi-cal friendly programs and treatment options for those with addictions in the state of New Mexico. There is always help when it is needed.
