FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) - A Farmington nonprofit has obtained tribal and federal contracts to provide a new residential treatment service for alcohol addiction.
The Daily Times (https://goo.gl/mSyRAS ) reports that Four Winds Recovery Center secured the contracts with the U.S. Probation Office in New Mexico and the Jicarilla Apache Nation for a 90-day treatment program as it prepares to close its detox center.
Executive Director Jolene Schneider said the cost of the residential program is much less than the protective-custody detox service, which is scheduled to close in June.
It is currently the only detox center in San Juan County. However, a multi-agency plan involving Farmington and San Juan County will provide a similar service, but without protective custody.
