Farmington, NM, December 12, 2023—Cenikor, a leading nonprofit behavioral health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment network, is pleased to announce the receipt of $330,000 in congressional project funding, a significant capital boost facilitated by the efforts of Senator Ben Ray Luján. This funding will go towards crucial facility improvements, including upgrading amenities in the residential building and fortifying the foundation’s commitment to providing vital services to the Farmington community.
“With so many New Mexicans and Americans impacted by substance use disorder, it’s critical our country invests in resources and services that improves access to treatment and recovery,” said Senator Luján. “That’s why I was proud to secure $330,000 for Cenikor to upgrade residential amenities and boost their ability to provide detoxification, short-term residential, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs to the Farmington community. This federal investment will allow Cenikor to continue their work supporting New Mexicans, and I look forward to seeing this funding make a difference in our community.”
