Hoy Recovery Program Inc

Hoy Recovery Program Inc. offers adults a true step-down continuum: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program, all under one roof in Velarde, New Mexico. That structure matters for people who need more than a single episode of care. Beginning with medically supported detox and moving through residential treatment gives individuals the time and clinical support to stabilize before transitioning to the outpatient level, where the focus shifts to applying recovery skills in everyday life.

For families supporting a loved one through recovery, the existence of multiple levels of care at one center means continuity — the same staff, the same community, and the same culturally grounded environment across different phases of treatment. Hoy Recovery's 24-hour availability means that when someone is ready to seek help, the door is open.

Hoy Recovery Program describes its mission in its own words: to strengthen individuals, families, and communities by providing culturally relevant substance abuse services. That framing is deliberate. Recovery does not happen in a vacuum, and for many adults in Rio Arriba County, a treatment program that reflects the culture and community context of northern New Mexico can make a meaningful difference in engagement and long-term outcomes.

The center has been part of this community since 1974, and that longevity reflects something real about its place in the region. CARF accreditation provides an external measure of quality, while the center's roots in the local community provide something that accreditation cannot: familiarity, trust, and a shared sense of place that can support recovery in ways a distant or generic facility cannot replicate.

Residential treatment at Hoy Recovery takes place in an environment that goes beyond clinical programming. Gardening and farm animals are genuine features of daily life at the facility, offering residents structured responsibility and a tangible connection to the rhythms of care and growth. For many adults in residential treatment, that kind of grounded, hands-on routine can complement formal clinical work in meaningful ways.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of the therapeutic framework at Hoy Recovery, providing residents with structured methods to examine and shift the thinking patterns linked to substance use. CBT is a well-established therapeutic approach that fits naturally into a residential setting where residents have the time and support to practice new skills consistently before stepping down to outpatient care.

Access to addiction treatment should not be determined solely by financial circumstances. Hoy Recovery Program accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay, covering a broad range of financial situations for adults seeking substance abuse treatment in New Mexico. For those using Medicaid, this can significantly reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs for medical detox, residential treatment, or outpatient services.

Prospective residents and their families can reach the admissions team at (505) 852-2580 to discuss payment options and begin the intake process. The center's admissions coordinator, Dana Martinez, and billing coordinator, Jolynn Sandoval, are part of the team available to help navigate financial questions as part of the admission process.
