Santa Fe Recovery Center
Extended Residential Treatment Program
is Now Open!
Announcing the SFRC Extended Residential Treatment Program
for Substance Use Disorders
SFRC opened its new Extended Recovery Program at the former St. Michael’s College campus last week. Beautifully furnished apartments and lovely landscaped grounds greeted all the new arrivals.
The program is for adults transitioning from 30-90 day residential treatment programs who still need structured support. Recovering mothers with babies and children are accepted.
In this program we are providing clinical and peer support, coaching, childcare and more. Job skills, nutrition, fitness training, financial management, computer and other skills are taught in a comfortable and respectful environment.
We expect this 90-day treatment program to greatly reduce relapse while strengthening the mind, body, and spirit of people in early recovery.
Thanks for your support of SFRC! Without YOU we wouldn’t have been able to create this new program and continue to serve our community.

Santa Fe Recovery is building a Playground – Donate and get Matched
We’re Building a Playground
and Everyone’s Talking!
We started our campaign last week to raise funds to match a generous $10,000 donation for our new Women and Children’s Residential Program Playground.
And we’re thrilled that the Santa Fe New Mexican is helping to spread the word. They wrote a great article about our new program and our fundraising efforts.
Thanks to everyone who has responded so far! But if you haven’t donated yet, we still need your help to finish the playground project for the children. Please donate now!
We have until September 17 to collect donations to meet the challenge and double your impact.
If you donate today, your gift will be matched. A $20 donation will be worth $40 and a $100 donation will become $200.
The children are going to have so much fun playing on all the new equipment! but it’s not all about fun and games. Play is essential to any child’s development. It’s also an ideal opportunity for parents to engage fully with their children.
Help us build a playground for the Women and Children’s Residential Program.
You can donate by clicking the button below, at our website, on our Facebook page using the Donate button, or by sending a check to: Santa Fe Recovery Center, 5312 Jaguar Dr., Santa Fe, NM 87507. You can also just call us at (505) 471-4985 to make a credit card donation.

The submission through the web portal is secure and allows for a quicker update of pertinent information to the provider record such as license, address, or affiliations.

You are invited to the Conduent Online Provider Update webinar to learn more. This is a live session. Participation is highly encouraged at no cost.

United/PHP Transition Questions from NMBHA

Providers asked the following questions at the PHP Provider Forum on 8/23 and were answered by Amber Grewal, PHP Behavioral Health Network Director.   If providers have more questions, please send them to Maggie and Amber will work to get answers asap.

PA Communication Plan

I was informed that both members and provider will receive a letter for the PHP authorizations being completed as part of the United transition. In addition the PHP UM reviewers will be reaching  out to verbally confirm this information with providers once the auth is complete.

Membership Info

The new MCO (Presbyterian) will be on the eligibility files starting 9/1 so systems will be updated at that point

CareLink Transfer of Info

This question is out to PHP leadership for review.
