Empowering Women with Children on the Path to Recovery
In New Mexico, where strength and resilience are deeply rooted in tradition, Santa Fe Recovery Center stands as the state’s largest women’s recovery center, dedicated to supporting women and their children on the path to recovery.
Recognizing the unique challenges women face in seeking treatment—including societal stigma, childcare responsibilities, and financial barriers—our residential treatment for women & children is designed to remove these obstacles. Here, women have the opportunity to bring their children (up to age five) into a nurturing environment where recovery and family healing go hand in hand.
Support for Mothers and Children
Our treatment is designed with the whole family in mind. Women have access to a physician specializing in addiction treatment and detoxification for pregnant and postpartum clients, and a behavioral health specialist provides therapeutic services to children living with their mothers.
These services promote each child’s well-being and development, allowing mothers to focus on recovery while building strong, healthy attachments with their children.
Addressing the Needs of Women in Recovery
Research shows that women make up less than a third of clients in addiction treatment services, often due to the barriers they face in accessing care. Santa Fe Recovery Center is committed to changing this by providing specialized, comprehensive care for women, including those who are pregnant or parenting young children.
We create a safe, compassionate space where women can focus on their recovery journey while fostering essential bonds with their children.

Women who complete short-term treatment may be eligible for an additional 90 days of extended residential treatment to further strengthen their recovery. During this phase, women continue receiving the same comprehensive treatment and support services while gradually increasing their independence and balancing the responsibilities of daily life. Participants may focus on employment searches, volunteer opportunities, educational goals, family engagement, and other recovery-supportive activities while continuing to build a strong foundation for long-term success.
