About Albuquerque Treatment Services LLC
Albuquerque Treatment Services LLC is located at 123 Madeira Drive SE in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The clinic’s federal OTP certification authorizes daily methadone dispensing — the most studied and consistently effective medication for opioid use disorder — paired with the counseling and monitoring requirements that federal OTP rules require.
Clinically, the program is outpatient-only. Patients come to the clinic for medication dispensing, drug testing, and counseling on a schedule that begins more intensively in the first weeks of treatment and gradually relaxes as patients demonstrate stability through take-home dose privileges. This stepped structure is the standard methadone-maintenance model: high oversight early, increasing autonomy over time. For patients who eventually choose to taper off methadone, gradual dose reduction is offered under medical supervision rather than abrupt discontinuation, which research consistently shows produces worse outcomes.
The clinic focuses on opioid use disorder specifically rather than the broader substance-use mix that residential rehabs treat. That focus reflects what an OTP is licensed and equipped to do — alcohol use disorder, stimulant use disorder, or co-occurring mental health diagnoses are typically managed through referrals to community partners while methadone treatment continues at this site.
Payment is straightforward: Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay are accepted, which aligns with the population the clinic primarily serves. New Mexico’s Medicaid expansion covers most opioid treatment costs for eligible adults, and the clinic’s billing staff can verify coverage during intake. Walk-in screening for OUD is generally available during clinic hours; patients should call ahead to confirm dispensing windows and bring photo ID for first-visit registration.
