Our Harm Reduction initiatives offer clean needle access (in exchange for used ones), drug checking, safer supplies, STD prevention, HIV/HCV and Syphilis testing, and distribution of Naloxone. We provide both online and in-person overdose prevention education. Additionally, our Harm Reduction Program facilitates connections to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), encompassing Suboxone and Methadone treatment, counseling services, and case management support.
New Mexico Recovery Coalition, NMRC, is a compassionate startup nonprofit organization and Southwest New Mexico’s exclusive non-government boots-on-ground provider driving harm reduction services, rapid HIV/HCV/syphilis testing, basic street medicine, limited mobile crisis interventions, and other key mental health advocacy initiatives into our rural and frontier communities.
