About Albuquerque Healthcare for The Homeless
Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless (AHCH) is a substance use treatment provider and Federally Qualified Health Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, offering low-barrier addiction care for people experiencing homelessness.
The team integrates medication assisted treatment, behavioral health, primary medical, dental and pharmacy services into one connected model.
Clients benefit from a trauma informed, harm reduction approach that emphasizes dignity, personal choice and easy access to help.
Low Barrier SUD Detox, Treatment and MAT
AHCH provides outpatient, low-barrier substance use disorder treatment integrated into primary care rather than residential rehab.
Services include medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, such as Suboxone/buprenorphine, plus a group based MAT program.
Licensed professionals also offer individual therapy, group therapy, walk-in support and crisis intervention.
AHCH primarily serves adults experiencing homelessness, including people living unsheltered, in shelters, motels or other unstable housing.
The team supports individuals with substance use disorders, opioid use disorder, severe mental health conditions and co-occurring behavioral health needs.
Location and Cost Details
The main campus sits on First Street NW, near the corner of First Street and Mountain Road NW, just north of downtown Albuquerque.
Outreach teams also deliver roving and site-based care across the city, including encampments, shelters and the Westside Shelter.
AHCH states that no patient will be denied service because of inability to pay and uses a Sliding Fee Discount Program.
The on-site pharmacy also provides medication to uninsured people regardless of ability to pay.
