Addiction Treatment Programs at UNM Hospital ASAP

Treatment often begins through the walk-in clinic, which serves as the front door for new patients seeking immediate access to outpatient substance use services.

From there, clients move through a stage-based recovery model that progresses from stabilization to deeper therapeutic work and long-term aftercare.

Clients can expect medication assisted treatment with methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone, along with individual, group, family and couples psychotherapy.

Specialty teams address the unique needs of adolescents, pregnant patients and adults with severe mental illness or PTSD.
