NEW MEXICO IS IN LINE TO GET 1-POINT-7 MILLION DOLLARS TO FIGHT DRUG ABUSE. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE MONEY WILL BE DISTRIBUTED OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS TO HELP SUPPORT DRUG COURT TREATMENT PROGRAMS.
THE FUNDS ARE FROM THE U-S HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION. OFFICIALS TELL THE JOURNAL THE DRUG PROGRAMS PROMOTE RECOVERY FOR PEOPLE WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS OR THOSE DEALING WITH BOTH MENTAL HEALTH AND DRUG DEPENDENCY.
