The New Mexico Society of Addiction Medicine (NMSAM) is the New Mexico chapter of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). We are the statewide interdisciplinary professional community for those working in addiction prevention, treatment, remission, and recovery. Our members include clinicians, researchers, peer workers, educators, and policymakers dedicated to enhancing substance use care throughout New Mexico.

NMSAM envisions a future where all New Mexicans have access to effective, compassionate, and culturally grounded care for substance use. We believe in protecting dignity, promoting self-determination, and centering the cultural strengths of New Mexico’s communities in every aspect of addiction care.

Our mission is to advance the science, policy, and practice of addiction care through education, collaboration, and innovation. We support the workforce with continuing education, implementation tools, and a growing network committed to reducing the impact of substance use and expanding pathways to wellness.
