Casa de Salud has a harm reduction program based at the clinic, since 2005. Anyone is welcome to drop in for services during our open hours, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. We are grateful to the New Mexico Department of Health for funding this program.
Services include (for drug users and for people who love drug users):
NOTE: The syringe exchange is NOT for people who are using needles for medical prescription purposes. These syringes are incinerated because of potential for infectious agents, and people who use needles for diabetes, testosterone administration, and otherwise, can throw their syringes in the trash (inside a hard plastic bottle like a laundry detergent bottle, with tape on it stating there are needles inside). We do not want to burn syringes that do not need to be incinerated, and further affect the environment.
Casa de Salud exists to improve the health and well-being of individuals and families by providing accessible, affordable, high-quality healthcare in a welcoming, inclusive, and culturally responsive environment. Through compassionate care, health education, advocacy, and collaboration with community partners, Casa empowers patients and advances healthier communities. By integrating conventional and traditional healing approaches, we address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those we serve while helping strengthen New Mexico's healthcare workforce and system.
