About Anchor Behavioral Health
Anchor Behavioral Health Albuquerque helps people facing substance use and mental health challenges find their footing in a way that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive. From outpatient and intensive outpatient care to structured sober living and aftercare, Anchor offers multiple levels of care designed to meet clients where they are.
Find Evidence-Based Help that Feels Human
At Anchor, treatment is meant to feel supportive and doable—not overwhelming—by focusing on two simple things: proven counseling and real human care. Their team provides compassionate, evidence-based help for both substance use and mental health, with the goal of helping clients and families build resilience and move toward lasting recovery. The overall experience is genuinely supportive, so clients aren’t left guessing what to do next.
Stay Active, Supported, and Busy
At Anchor, clients can come to the center just for groups, then return to optional sober living homes with amenities like pools, jacuzzis, and easy access to hiking trails. Practical support is built in too, like transportation with a driver until clients are ready to become more self-supporting. And because connection matters as much as comfort, Anchor keeps the week full of community—hikes, outdoor activities, and fun sober outings like the zoo or bowling.
Feel Connected with the Anchor App
The aftercare program keeps alumni and current clients connected through the Anchor app, where people can share victories, stay in touch, and keep up with events like group dinners. To make staying engaged fun and rewarding, Anchor adds incentives like prizes, giving everyone something to look forward to.

Cocaine
Cocaine is a stimulant with euphoric effects. Agitation, muscle ticks, psychosis, and heart issues are common symptoms of cocaine abuse.
Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines are prescribed to treat anxiety and sleep issues. They are highly habit forming, and their abuse can cause mood changes and poor judgement.
Outpatient
During outpatient rehab, patients attend a structured treatment program while continuing to live at home.
Trauma
Some traumatic events are so disturbing that they cause long-term mental health problems. Those ongoing issues can also be referred to as "trauma."
Heroin
Heroin is a highly addictive and illegal opioid. It can cause insomnia, collapsed veins, heart issues, and additional mental health issues.
Opioids
Opioids produce pain-relief and euphoria, which can lead to addiction. This class of drugs includes prescribed medication and the illegal drug heroin.

Methamphetamine, or meth, increases energy, agitation, and paranoia. Long-term use can result in severe physical and mental health issues.

Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.
Who We Treat
Men and Women
Men and women attend treatment for addiction in a co-ed setting, going to therapy groups together to share experiences, struggles, and successes.
Midlife Adults
For adults ages 40+, treatment shifts to focus on the unique challenges, blocks, and risk factors of their age group, and unites peers in a similar community.
Professionals
Busy, high-ranking professionals get the personalized treatment they need with greater accommodations for work, privacy, and outside communication.
Veterans
Patients who completed active military duty receive specialized treatment focused on trauma, grief, loss, and finding a new work-life balance.

Outpatient
During outpatient rehab, patients attend a structured treatment program while continuing to live at home.
Sober Living
These structured living environments help people transition out of rehab. Residents have more freedom than they do during rehab, but still follow certain rules.
Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Gender-Specific
Separate treatment for men or women can create strong peer connections and remove barriers related to trauma, shame, and gender-specific nuances.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
Strengths-Based
Providers using a strengths-based philosophy focus on the positive traits of their patients, creating a positive feedback loop that grows confidence.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Eye Movement Therapy (EMDR)
Lateral, guided eye movements help reduce the emotional reactions of retelling and reprocessing trauma, allowing intense feelings to dissipate.
Life Skills
Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.
Meditation & Mindfulness
A practiced state of mind that brings patients to the present. It allows them to become fully aware of themselves, their feelings, and the present moment.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
MBCT combines mindfulness practices—like meditation—with cognitive therapy techniques to help patients work through negative thought patterns.
Motivational Interviewing and Enhancement Therapy (MET)
This approach is based on idea that motivation to change comes from within. Providers use a conversational framework that may help you commit to recovery.
