Hooked on that “Heisenberg”? Come get clean in New Mexico! Albuquerque Drug Rehab Center Offers Scholarships In Honor Of Breaking Bad Via HealthShire As we are based in Albuquerque and our focus is on Mental Health, we naturally LOVE Breaking Bad! Although we are sad to see the show come to a close and leave our fair city, we do recognize that all good things must come to an end. We would like to honor the end of Breaking Bad with bringing awareness to mental health and addictions treatment in our community. HealthShire is partnering with Sage Neuroscience Center to give two scholarships for addictions treatment in Albuquerque, NM. This Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a 12-week addictions treatment program that focuses on building the tools and acquiring the skills required to break addiction and begin the journey to recovery. Healthshire is dedicated to bringing much-needed attention to the state of mental health and its treatment in New Mexico, the United States, and across the globe. We will be posting multiple blogs about addiction and its treatment every week during the contest and beyond in an effort to bridge together a supportive mental health community. All you have to do to apply is submit your story of addiction. To apply, click HERE . The Scholarships will be awarded to two eligible candidates. Winners will be screened and chosen by the IOP director and Medical Director. Application Deadline is midnight (EST): Sunday, September 22nd, 2013. Winners will not be announced (due to anonymity), but will be contacted the following week. All applicants must be located in or around Albuquerque, NM. All applicants must be over the age of 18 years old. All applicants must submit a personal story relating to addiction. All stories will be compiled into a collection for addictions education in Healtshire’s “Telling Our Stories” section. All personal information will be kept anonymous and will not be shared. This scholarship is designed to help those who cannot currently afford addictions treatment, due to lack of insurance coverage or an inability to meet out-of-pocket expenses. Ideal candidates will be ready to commit to making positive changes toward recovery. Great show, even better cause. Say no to drugs folks…ESPECIALLY meth! Image via AMC
