Certified Community Behavioral Health Center

Since 1976, MHR has provided comprehensive mental health and substance use services to Eastern New Mexico. In January 2026, our 21st Street location became a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), which means MHR will build upon our established services by strengthening access, care coordination, and integration across other systems of care. 

CCBHC services include client-centered treatment planning, outpatient mental health/substance use disorder counseling, crisis services (24-hour mobile crisis and crisis stabilization), peer support services, psychiatric medication management, targeted case management, primary care health screening and monitoring, armed forces and veterans’ services, and much more.

​​Our CCBHC designation is supported by the New Mexico Health Care Authority (HCA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as part of New Mexico’s efforts to expand access to behavioral health services. Becoming a CCBHC is a major milestone for MHR, requiring significant planning, training, and coordination to meet strict standards designed to improve client access and the quality of care. Through this certification, MHR aligns with HCA and SAMHSA requirements to strengthen care coordination, improve access to services, and support individuals and families across Eastern New Mexico and ensuring services are available regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
