New Hope for Addiction in Las Vegas NM | Albuquerque News

A new lifeline is opening in Las Vegas, New Mexico: the Epi-Duran Substance Abuse Treatment Center, the first state-run inpatient facility in the region. Designed for detox and recovery with up to 28-day stays, it tackles a critical gap — previously, residents had to drive five hours to Albuquerque or Las Cruces for help. With overdose deaths rising 21% in New Mexico last year, this local option could mean the difference between getting clean or staying stuck. Starting small with six patients, the center will scale to 28 beds while prioritizing long-term support through community-based programs. It’s the third state facility, joining Albuquerque and Roswell, marking a vital step toward expanding access and saving lives.
