Adult & Teen Challenge of New Mexico
About Adult & Teen Challenge of New Mexico
Adult & Teen Challenge of New Mexico is a nonprofit organization providing care for addiction and other life challenges in Tijeras. For more than 60 years, they’ve welcomed adults and young people seeking recovery. You can access their Christian based residential program to reach your recovery goals.
They don’t provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) or medical detox, but there’s a social detox available that can take several months to complete. If you’re seeking professional withdrawal management services, be sure to reach out to your primary care physician or an addiction specialist.
I like that they prioritize accessible care. While prices can vary by program location, they strive to provide affordable services. You can get started on treatment for a modest fee.
A Faith Based Approach
One great feature I noticed was that they’re a Christian centered program. They believe that fostering a solid connection with God can guide and support you throughout your journey. You’ll benefit from finding a deeper meaning in recovery to benefit your overall well being.
Extended Treatment for Sustained Recovery
I also think it’s beneficial that their program is long term. They provide 12-18 months of treatment. During this time, you’ll live with peers on similar paths and participate in group and individual biblical studies, recreation, and work projects. They also provide education classes for adolescents. With extended periods in treatment, you’ll have plenty of time to build a solid recovery foundation.
An Emphasis on Family Reunification
I like that they encourage family reunification. As part of their goal, regular communication and family visits are encouraged. They help you reconnect with your loved ones and rebuild broken bonds to support your journey.
