Drug, Alcohol, Detox and Treatment Resources

Located in the High Plains of southeastern New Mexico, Roswell is a small town with a big history. Its flat grasslands support a thriving ranching industry. Its clear skies provide excellent conditions for star gazing at night. Its connection to the crash of a UFO attracts visitors interested in UFO phenomena. In fact, the city capitalizes on this interest with alien-themed attractions and a McDonald’s built in the shape of a flying saucer.

The sites in Roswell may be out of this world, but alcohol and drug abuse in the area is a very real problem. A nationwide survey revealed that New Mexico’s teens have the second highest consumption rate of cocaine and ecstasy in the nation. They also report consuming methamphetamine and heroin at alarming rates. This same trend is visible in other age groups and spans all socio-economic levels, sparking concern among police and community leaders who want to stop the effects addiction has on the entire community.

You don’t have to continue living in the grip of drugs or alcohol or watch someone you love struggle with addiction. All you have to do is take the first step to learn more about treatment options available.

You show up at the facility only when you have an appointment or class to attend. This lets you continue your treatment plan while you take care of your daily responsibilities.

Ultimately, you have to choose the treatment program that best meets your needs and supports you through the entire recovery process. Speak with the staff. Be honest about your addiction history.
