Home MenuBehavioral Health Reform and Investment Act
Strengthening access, improving outcomes, and investing in a healthier future for our community.
Overview
The Behavioral Health Reform & Investment Act (Senate Bill 3/SB3) supports initiatives focused on expanding behavioral health services, improving infrastructure and addressing community needs across prevention, treatment and recovery.
Current Projects
Horizon Behavioral Health Center
Eastern New Mexico's journey toward improved behavioral health services began in 2021 when several cities and counties collaborated to address service gaps. A feasibility study conducted by Initium Health in 2022 highlighted the need for a centralized, state-of-the-art behavioral health facility. This facility aims to offer comprehensive care, attract top-quality staff, and serve as a community-driven resource. The project is now progressing toward design and construction, with ongoing efforts to involve the community in the planning process.
Enhanced Sequential Intercept Model
The Enhanced Sequential Intercept Model (E-SIM) details how individuals with mental and substance use disorders come into contact with and move through the criminal justice system. The E-SIM helps communities identify resources and gaps in services at each intercept and develop local strategic action plans.
The Enhanced Sequential Intercept Mapping and Prioritization Workshop for Behavioral Health Region 9 was hosted December 2-4, 2025 in Clovis, NM.
