What is this?

This is a community resource directory compiled and maintained by the City of Albuquerque's Health, Housing & Homelessness (HHH) department, last updated March 1, 2026. The guide serves as a quick reference for service providers, case managers, and community members seeking to connect individuals with available resources. The document is organized by service category and includes contact information, addresses, hours of operation, eligibility requirements, and brief service descriptions for each listed organization. It references additional specialized resource guides (NM Leaders in Recovery for behavioral health, Bernalillo County Resource Guide, CABQ Senior Services Quick Guide) and includes hyperlinks to organizational websites when available.

Summary

This comprehensive resource guide documents the current behavioral health and social services infrastructure across the Albuquerque metropolitan area, providing critical intelligence for systems change planning. The guide reveals a robust but fragmented service landscape with multiple crisis hotlines (988, NM Crisis Line, various warmlines), numerous SUD treatment providers offering MAT and IOP services, mental health counseling agencies, and several drop-in centers serving diverse populations. For behavioral health systems change in Bernalillo County, this document serves multiple purposes: it maps existing services that could be leveraged or expanded, identifies organizations already providing integrated care (like Casa de Salud and First Nations Community Healthsource), highlights peer support infrastructure (ABQ Center for Hope & Recovery, NM Peer Coalition’s Soul Recovery Cafe), and documents specialized programs for underserved populations including justice-involved individuals (NM Reentry Center), LGBTQ+ communities (Transgender Resource Center), refugees (Las Cumbres, Centro Savila), and youth (New Day, The Harbour). The guide also reveals potential coordination opportunities among organizations serving similar populations and identifies geographic service coverage patterns that could inform strategic expansion planning.

BH Systems Change Recommendations

**How This Report Informs Systems Change** This resource guide, while not containing explicit recommendations, provides essential baseline data for behavioral health systems change initiatives: **Service Mapping and Gap Analysis**: The guide enables planners to map existing services geographically and by population served, revealing potential service deserts and areas of duplication. The concentration of services along certain corridors (Central, San Mateo, 4th Street) versus sparse coverage in other areas can inform strategic expansion. **Integration Opportunities**: Several organizations already demonstrate integrated care models (Casa de Salud, First Nations, UNMH ASAP) that could serve as templates or expansion sites for broader systems integration efforts. **Peer Support Infrastructure**: The documented peer support network (ABQ Center for Hope & Recovery, NM Peer Coalition, warmlines) represents existing infrastructure that could be strengthened and better connected to clinical services. **Population-Specific Service Coordination**: The guide reveals multiple organizations serving similar populations (justice-involved, LGBTQ+, refugees, youth) that could benefit from formal coordination mechanisms or shared intake processes. **Transition Points**: The document identifies key transition points (reentry, youth aging out, hospital discharge) where care coordination could be improved through systems-level interventions.
