About Santa Fe Health Services
Santa Fe Health Services operates as one of the Albuquerque Health Services network of opioid treatment clinics across New Mexico, with sister locations in Albuquerque (northeast, northwest, south valley), Rio Rancho, Espanola, and Taos. The Santa Fe clinic at 1549 South Saint Francis Drive provides medication-assisted treatment to adults with opioid use disorder, anchored by a federal certification as an Opioid Treatment Program.
Core services include daily dispensing of methadone and the option of buprenorphine (Suboxone) for clients whose clinical profile suits that medication. Medication is paired with counseling provided by master’s-level therapists who address the underlying behavioral health concerns that often accompany opioid use, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. The program’s design follows the SAMHSA opioid treatment standard of combining pharmacotherapy with psychosocial support.
The clinic operates on standard OTP hours, with dosing in the morning and new intakes scheduled to arrive early to complete paperwork and a counseling assessment before seeing the program physician. Federal holidays are observed. Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay arrangements are accepted, making care accessible to people across a range of financial situations.
For adults in northern New Mexico whose opioid use has crossed into the territory of dependence, this clinic serves as one of the few low-barrier methadone access points in the region. Its location on a primary Santa Fe corridor and its connection to a larger statewide network make continuity possible for clients who move between communities.
