New Mexico Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
Treatment Gap
• Many New Mexicans, especially in rural counties, have to travel
long distances to their closest treatment location.
• The total number of persons living with a SUD was estimated to
be 204,681 persons.
• Based on available data, approximately 70,303 persons received
some treatment in 2018.
• The calculated gap suggests an estimated 134,378 persons (over
65%) who needed but did not receive treatment in 2018.
