Services include substance use prevention and education and behavioral health services. • Substance Use/Prevention: Substance use and prevention services that reduce the impact of alcoholism, alcohol use, substance use, drug dependence, and drug use within the community. The goal is to improve behavioral health outcomes and reduce the incidence of driving while intoxicated in the County through innovative, cohesive, and measurable programs, treatment services, and supports aimed at preventing the incidence of crisis and substance use disorder. • Behavioral Health Services: The County utilizes partnerships within the community to leverage resources, expand services and improve access to care. Funded initiatives invest in changing lives, promoting health, and building a strong network of care so that no one falls through the cracks. The goal of the County is to develop a comprehensive, well networked, and accessible continuum of care for children, youth, and adults in need of behavioral health services. Those services can range from prevention through education and early intervention to crisis response and long-term stabilization. The County collaborates with members of the New Mexico congressional delegation, federal agencies, the State of New Mexico, local and regional governments, and private and nonprofit sector agencies to establish a shared vision and priorities, identify opportunities for collaboration, alignment, and the leveraging of resources to maximize the collective impact.
