INTRO

If your loved one is approaching release from a New Mexico state prison, the state's community corrections residential programs center on two GEO Group-operated facilities: the New Mexico Men's Recovery Academy in Los Lunas and the New Mexico Women's Recovery Academy in Albuquerque. Both are six-month residential programs combining intensive substance abuse treatment with mental health services, followed by a halfway house component of up to four months - giving eligible participants up to ten months of structured community transition under NMCD supervision.

The Men's Recovery Academy at 1000 W. Main Street, Los Lunas (Valencia County) serves up to 84 male parolees and probationers. The Women's Recovery Academy at 6000 Isleta Blvd SW, Albuquerque (Bernalillo County) serves up to 48 women across two tracks - one focused on substance abuse and mental health treatment, the other on family reunification through an on-campus moms and kids program.

For federal inmates, New Mexico falls under BOP Residential Reentry Management Dallas. The likely federal RRC for Albuquerque is the New Mexico Reentry Center at 215 3rd St SW - verify the current BOP contract from bop.gov.

NMCD Transitional Coordinators - specialized probation officers - operate in every region of the state and work directly with transitional housing providers and community resources to support individuals on supervision. Contact NMCD's Probation and Parole Division at (505) 827-8750 for regional coordinator referrals.

THE RECOVERY ACADEMIES - A DISTINCTIVE MODEL

New Mexico's Recovery Academies blend correctional supervision with intensive residential treatment in a way that distinguishes them from traditional halfway houses. The six-month residential phase addresses substance abuse, mental health, cognitive behavioral change, and - uniquely for women - family reunification while still in the program. The Women's Recovery Academy's moms and kids track allows eligible mothers to have their children on campus during treatment, a model designed to reduce family separation and strengthen the conditions for stable reentry.

The halfway house component, embedded within each academy for up to four months, allows residents to work in the community while returning to the facility - a standard work-release model. GEO Group staffs both facilities under contract with NMCD.

DISMAS HOUSE NEW MEXICO - COMMUNITY NONPROFIT

Dismas House New Mexico - not affiliated with the national Dismas Charities organization - is an independent Albuquerque nonprofit founded in 1994. Operating from a three-acre campus in the city's north valley, it offers a 90-day structured transitional program using evidence-based interventions, group sessions, case management, therapeutic services, and substance use recovery education. Visit hopeworksnm.org for current program details and availability.
