The celebration also marks the addition of a new playground play structure, underscoring SFRC’s commitment to safe, therapeutic spaces that support healthy attachment and learning.

“We’re proud to be ECECD-licensed and to offer a unique, age-appropriate curriculum for the children in our care,” said Katherine Archuleta, Program Director, Women & Children’s Services at SFRC. “Alongside childcare, we provide Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) classes, Empowered Parenting classes and parent coaching. It’s truly wraparound care for the whole family.”

“The Therapeutic Childcare Center removes a major barrier to treatment for mothers,” said Stacy Martin, CEO of SFRC. “When children are cared for in a safe, therapeutic setting, moms can fully engage in care and families can heal together.”

As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), SFRC offers a full continuum of care, including medically monitored detox, residential and extended residential programs, outpatient and intensive outpatient services, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), recovery housing, family and alumni support, and mobile crisis services.

About Santa Fe Recovery Center
Santa Fe Recovery Center (SFRC) is a non-profit, CARF-accredited (Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) substance use disorder (SUD) treatment center operating in Santa Fe and Gallup. SFRC was established in 2005 to respond to the long-existing problem of substance use plaguing Northern New Mexico. SFRC provides detoxification, residential treatment, regular and intensive outpatient treatment, and medication-assisted treatment. In 2020, at the request of the State of New Mexico Department of Health and the New Mexico Human Services Department, SFRC was tapped to fill the void in evidence-based SUD treatment options in McKinley County in an effort to help eliminate gaping health disparities in this rural, underserved community. Shortly thereafter, Four Corners Detox Recovery Center (FCDRC) was established in Gallup. For more information, visit sfrecovery.org.
