The Facilities Management Division (FMD) fulfills the NMDOH mission by providing:

• Programs in mental health, substance abuse, long-term care, and physical rehabilitation in both facility and community-based settings;
• Safety net services throughout New Mexico.

FMD oversees five healthcare facilities and one community program. Most individuals served by NMDOH facilities have either complex medical conditions or psychiatric disorders that manifest in violent behaviors, and private sector providers are either unable or unwilling to serve these complex individuals, many of whom are restricted to NMDOH facilities by court order.

FMD Facility staff cares for both New Mexico adult and adolescent residents, who need continuous care 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a year as well as provision of a variety of behavioral health outpatient services.
