METROPOLITAN ASSESSMENT & TREATMENT SERVICES (MATS)
|
The goal of Metropolitan Assessment & Treatment Services (MATS) is to establish a comprehensive and coordinated Detoxification, Recovery Treatment and Transitional Housing program for public inebriates including individuals with co-occurring disorders, and develop extensive and strong partnerships with existing community medical, mental health, alcohol/drug and homeless service agencies. Bernalillo County, through its DWI Program, currently funds operation of the existing detoxification program for public inebriates at the old Charter Hospital facility at 5901 Zuni SE to provide comprehensive services to the public inebriate population from a single facility.
