About University of New Mexico Hospital Addictions and Substance Abuse Prog
The University of New Mexico Hospital Milagro Program, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, provides addiction recovery services for pregnant and postpartum women and their families. Their specialties include medical detox, outpatient services and aftercare support.
Their medical detox process helps clients safely withdraw from opioids, alcohol, or other drugs under medical supervision. If medication assisted treatment is required, providers can administer FDA-approved addiction medications, including methadone and buprenorphine (Subutex) to improve client comfort, reduce cravings and lower relapse risk.
In addition to MAT, clients can participate in adjunctive services designed to address and treat the mental and emotional aspects of addiction. These include individual and group counseling as well as comprehensive case management support.
Their aftercare services help clients prepare for a healthy, safe birthing and mothering experience. Providers can connect clients with other prenatal and postnatal care services offered at the University of New Mexico (UNM) Hospital, including maternity services, breastfeeding and baby care courses and related programs.
As part of UNM Hospital, the University of New Mexico Hospital Milagro Program is in-network with many commercial insurance providers, including Aetna, BlueCross/BlueShield, Amerigroup, Cigna, HealthSmart and others. Verify coverage with your individual provider as out of network benefits can vary.
