New Moon Lodge, Ohkay Owingeh

Treatment Services at New Moon Lodge

Treatment is residential: fourteen beds for adult men, with individual and group counseling as the clinical core and traditional and spiritual involvement running through the stay. That combination is the reason to consider the lodge over a conventional program, because a man who wants treatment grounded in his own cultural practice is being offered it as part of care rather than as an evening activity on the schedule.

Beyond counseling, the program builds practical skills for coping with triggers and past traumas, and links residents into education and job training as part of discharge planning. Aftercare runs through referrals into community services. For someone leaving custody or an unstable housing situation, that education and employment link often decides whether the gains made during a residential stay actually hold afterwards.

Much of what a caller needs is unpublished. No level of care beyond residential, no length of stay, no detox service, no named substance or mental health condition, no medication and no intake steps appear anywhere. Call (505) 852-2788 and ask what substances the program admits for, whether withdrawal is managed on site, how long a stay runs, and whether a referral from a tribal program is needed first.
