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.

Land in Sober Living that Feels like a Fresh Start
Land in Sober Living that Feels like a Fresh Start
Most clients live in purpose-driven sober homes while attending outpatient, giving them a safe environment where routines and community become part of everyday life. With separate houses for men and women, everyone gets the space they need to grow while still feeling supported. In sober living here, people have roommates, peers, and a culture that encourages progress.
Carry the 12 Steps beyond Treatment and into Life
Carry the 12 Steps beyond Treatment and into Life
At Anchor, clients don’t just hear about meetings, they go to meetings together, learn the steps, and get connected with sponsors who’ve walked the path before them. By practicing the steps with others who understand, clients gain clarity, accountability, and a support network that carries beyond treatment.
Stabilize First—And Then Step into More Freedom
Stabilize First—And Then Step into More Freedom
Anchor’s Level Up program starts with seven days off the phone to fully unplug, followed by 30 days building real connection with the group: riding together to meetings and sharing life together. As clients gain stability, they “level up” into more independence, practicing real-world skills while still having a strong safety net.
Join the Anchor Community that Keeps Clients Close
Join the Anchor Community that Keeps Clients Close
The team at Anchor leads with genuine care, and because staff support is treated as essential, clients often notice a difference in the attention they receive. Hope is built into the culture through hiring from within and employing alumni who’ve graduated from the program. That ongoing connection is part of what many google reviewers describe as “family.”
