THE MOUNTAIN CENTER

Therapeutic Outdoor Adventure and Behavioral Health Services in New Mexico

Our Mission

To promote wellness, personal discovery, and social change through innovative learning experiences in wilderness, community, and cultural environments.

Resilience

When facing hardship, everyone needs a reminder that they are strong enough, brave enough and worthy enough to break through. Our work is dedicated to showing people just that. The golden thread that runs through all The Mountain Center’s programming is the support and recognition of resilience in the youth, adults and communities of New Mexico.

ASPEN HOUSE WOMEN'S RECOVERY

The Mountain Center’s Aspen House Women’s Recovery was established in 2021. We offer a trauma-informed, substance-free space for women recovering from substance use disorders. We’re able to meet the needs of women in recovery and explore how to balance the demands of life with the goal of long-term recovery. We work to reintegrate our clients back into the community with new self-awareness and stronger coping skills.

The typical length of stay is 3-6 months.
