NMSAS Recovery Center

We talk a lot about recovery as a journey, a path, a lifestyle… but the truth is, it’s deeply personal.

For some, it means hope. For others, it means rebuilding trust. For many, it means simply believing tomorrow can be better than today.

We’d love to hear from you: When you say “I’m in recovery,” what does that mean for you? 💛 Your voice matters. Your story matters.

🎃💖 Care Bears Take Over the Recovery Center! 💖🎃

Today, in leu of Halloween, our incredible nursing team reminded us what care really looks like - by showing up as the Care Bears! 🌈🐻

From Cheer Bear’s sunshine to Grumpy Bear’s sass, they brought color, kindness, and a whole lot of laughter to the day. It’s the perfect reminder that caring for people doesn’t always come in scrubs, sometimes it comes in fuzzy ears and heart-shaped bellies! 💕

Thank you to our nurses for bringing the fun and the heart every single day. 🩺✨

🌻 Finding Our Voice: What NMSAS Recovery Center Means to Us 🌻

Last week, our team gathered for a conversation that went deeper than strategy or structure - it was about language. About how we talk about NMSAS Recovery Center and what those words truly mean to us.

We started by exploring how people often hear the words “methadone clinic” or “treatment center” and the assumptions that come with them. Then we began to reframe those ideas - together - describing who we are in our own words.

Before long, we found ourselves speaking in a new way:

“I work at NMSAS Recovery Center, and for me that means…”

It was powerful to hear the words that followed. Warmth. Belonging. Hope. Connection. Healing. An "ah ha" moment for us was when we realized that this was familiar to us, because in recovery, we often hear people say, "I'm a person in recovery, and for me that means...".

That phrase, "for me that means" does something powerful: it reclaims identity! It helps replace stigma with story. It invites people to understand not only what we do, but who we are and what we believe in. So, what began as an exercise in messaging became a reflection of identity - how each of us experiences and expresses the heart of this place.

Every time we tell our story, we help reshape the way recovery is understood. Because NMSAS Recovery Center isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.

Today, we are closing at noon, but only so we can open something even more important together. 🌱

Our staff is gathering to reflect on a big question:
What does it mean to move from being a clinic… to a recovery center… to a movement?

This isn’t about a logo or a tagline. It’s about who we are, how we serve, and how we grow together. 💬

Recovery is more than treatment. It’s connection. It’s belonging. It’s people helping people.

✨ Thanks for supporting us as we pause to listen, learn, and imagine what’s next — so we can keep showing up for our community with heart and purpose.
