What the SAMHSA Record Shows About University of New Mexico Hospital

University of New Mexico Hospital is a substance use & mental health operated by State government in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (residential, outpatient), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 1001 Yale Boulevard NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 7 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Hospital inpatient, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Substance use treatment), 1 substance or condition category treated (General substance use disorders), and 6 clinical treatment approaches (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Electroconvulsive therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment). It serves 8 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Children with serious emotional disturbance, Justice-involved individuals, Military families, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Young adults) with 20 languages of care (American Indian or Alaska Native languages, Any Chinese Language, Arabic, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hmong, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Other languages (excluding Spanish), Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing, and 3 more). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, private insurance, a sliding-fee scale, payment assistance, plus 8 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, IHS/Tribal/Urban (ITU) funds, Medicaid, Other State funds, Private health insurance, State education agency funds, State welfare or child and family services funds, State-financed health insurance plan other than Medicaid).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use & mental health listings in New Mexico: it reports 51 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 4% of 142 facilities statewide (state median: 36). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.

Use this page as a starting screen, not a final decision. SAMHSA fields are self-reported by the facility and refreshed on a rolling basis, so wait times, bed availability, current insurance contracts, and staff credentials are best confirmed on a direct intake call to (505) 272-2930. This page is a factual directory summary, not medical advice, clinical endorsement, or a guarantee of admission. For any acute crisis or active substance-use emergency, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline before visiting any facility.

Extended Profile: How University of New Mexico Hospital Compares Locally

University of New Mexico Hospital's SAMHSA record is unusually complete: 51 reported attributes places it at rank #6 of 142 New Mexico facilities by self-reported completeness (top 4%). Narrowed to just Albuquerque, it ranks #2 of 39 local facilities on the same measure, a comparison the statewide figure alone can't show since a facility can be a state-wide standout while being one of several similarly detailed programs in its own city, or vice versa.

A high self-reported-completeness rank is not a clinical quality signal, SAMHSA does not audit or verify the survey responses facilities submit. It does mean this specific record answers more of the practical questions (which populations, which languages, which payment types) before you have to call and ask.
