Acting as a non-profit organization, SMHC provides families and individuals with a range of community services at no cost to the client. Services include housing assistance, shelter and food programs as well as job assistance and mental health programs. The Therapy Center at SMHC provides outpatient chemical dependency treatment as well as treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment and Staff
Prior to enrollment, clients are screened through an assessment process which determines the recovery needs of each person. If detox or more intensive treatment is needed, the client is referred to a trusted facility. St. Martin’s Hospital Center offers outpatient treatment utilizing evidence-based practices through individualized treatment plans that are tailored to their unique needs. Trauma-informed care also helps clients with existing traumas work towards their recovery in an emotionally safe environment. Treatment staff work to address trauma, anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions that may require dual diagnosis support.
The facility is open on weekdays, but an evening program and weekend hours are being developed.
Clients are seen by a case manager who helps create a treatment plan and recovery goals which they work towards during group and individual therapy. As every client’s program is individualized, the frequency of attendance varies. Specialized groups are also available—including women’s groups, job readiness groups and early recovery groups. Clients learn relapse prevention techniques as well as general life and social skills.
Therapeutic sessions are conducted by LDACs and LCSWs.
Extras
Residential facilities are available for those clients requiring housing. The facility also has a coffee shop dedicated to employing homeless clients, helping to eradicate homelessness in the Albuquerque area by teaching essential job skills. There is also an outreach team that goes into the streets to assist people who may not be aware of the available resources.
