Job insecurity, a global pandemic, etc. We don’t have to name the reasons for increased anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and beyond. But, we do need to recognize the state of mental wellness across New Mexico.
In New Mexico, the death rate for drug-related deaths and overdoses is among the highest in the nation. In some New Mexico counties, the rate of overdose deaths is more than five times the national average. According to current estimates, the number of New Mexico residents living with a substance use disorder is over 200,000. Despite this high number, many of these individuals are not receiving the treatment they need to recover, likely because they lack access to care.
