Finding a Sober Living Home in New Mexico: 7 Options Across NM

Once you decide to seek help, you want to put as much distance between you and your addiction as possible. Where can you turn for organizations that provide recovery housing to those who are new to this lifestyle and need more structure and support?

Albuquerque offers many sober living residences and halfway houses, but there are plenty of other options in Las Cruces, Santa Fe, and beyond. If you need a sober living facility, residents can rest easy with current enrollment in one of these housing communities.

• Masada Recovery House in Farmington: Women seeking gender-specific help for addiction may turn first to Masada Recovery House. Their program has a proven track record of success. The counselors here will encourage you to stick with coping skills learned in recovery and help transition back to the community.
• The Lighthouse Mission in Clovis: The Lighthouse Mission is a great place to find housing, but they offer so much more. This organization provides homeless sheltering, food and clothing assistance, and a six-month recovery housing program.
• Lifehouse Carlsbad: Men, women, and women with children can all find housing at Lifehouse. You will have a house worker and peer support worker (self-run program) to help you transition to the community. If you decide to enroll here, it requires a six-month commitment and can last for as long as needed.
• Opportunity House in Hobbs: Men can seek refuge at Opportunity House in Hobbs, offering robust addiction treatment services in a three-phase program. They follow the Twelve Step framework in all phases, along with accountability, life skills training, parenting skills, and financial literacy. It’s self-run, offering peer counseling from someone who knows and understands you.
• Carlsbad Community of Hope Center: Carlsbad Community of Hope Center‘s non-profit offers safe housing in New Mexico for up to ninety days as well as warm meals. There is a new building on its way that will provide a clinic and more to those who need recovery housing. If you need a more structured program, this may not be the best fit.
• Zia Recovery Center in Las Cruces: Zia Recovery Center will serve you well with its transitional housing program. All of its programs are located around the Las Cruces area, ensuring that every client has the support of the community in their development. You can even attend outpatient groups as part of your program, offering additional support.
• Santa Fe Recovery Center: If you want to remain in the heart of New Mexico, the Santa Fe Recovery Center offers two-bedroom apartments for a maximum stay of 120 days. Your stay grants you a private bedroom and bathroom with communal living areas. Longer residency requirements may be better suited to their bridge program, which is more flexible.

Don’t be overwhelmed by the sheer number of homes on this list. You can start by getting information on just one or two to see if they could be the right fit for you. However, this likely isn’t your first step when it comes to learning how to live your life sober.

Lay the Foundation with Icarus Behavioral Health New Mexico

A sober living home is the last step in a long journey toward wellness. Icarus Behavioral Health in New Mexico lays the groundwork so that when you’ve graduated, it’s easier to maintain the gains made during treatment.

Our regulations are designed to keep you safe, starting with a medical detox.

Medical Detox Offered for First Sober Days

Most of our clients will start with the 24/7 supervision of our medical team as drugs and alcohol leave their system.

This allows us to make you more comfortable and ensures your safety. From here, we will walk you through the process of moving to intensive residential treatment.

Outpatient Treatment Programs for Continued Support

After a stint in detox and residential, you might want to consider partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient. This allows you more freedom. You can sleep in your bed at night, see your friends and family, and take advantage of all the beautiful sober living activities that flourish in the New Mexico area.

From museums to parks, there are lots of things to explore with a sober mind and body.

Once you gain some confidence and practice with sober living, you can move into recovery housing as you attend our intensive outpatient program. This gives you the support you need while allowing you to practice your coping skills in a safe environment.

People interested in learning about our rules and program can visit or reach out to our enrollment team.

Insurance Coverage at Our Drug Rehab Centers

The unfortunate news is that many people are held back from an intensive treatment program by the sticker shock of a residential option. Before you can segue into recovery housing in New Mexico, you may be required to spend thirty to ninety days committed to sober living with clean drug tests and a stable environment to support you.

This is most easily accomplished in effective residential treatment (or, for some clients, our outpatient programs may also offer enough support). Icarus Behavioral Health offers these services–and our programs may be more affordable than you think.

Our program is proud to accept Turquoise Care and many forms of Medicaid here at Icarus Behavioral Health in New Mexico. We are in-network with an array of major private providers, making treatment accessible to as many people as possible, with up 100% of the costs of treatment covered.

If you’re wondering what the potential costs are for a detox and residential stay, contact our Admissions team today. They can verify your benefits in a quick, confidential phone call and let you know how much you can expect to pay for the help you need and deserve.

Seek Help at Icarus To Support Sober Living Success

Recovering addicts who are serious about their newfound sobriety may benefit from a halfway house like those found in our directory here. But if you aren’t quite ready for sober living facilities, it may be time to think about a medical detox or inpatient stay to get your feet under you.

Icarus Behavioral Health New Mexico can help you take the first tentative steps and then transition to sober living homes tailored to your needs.
