Overview
On May 28, 2026, the Opioid Remediation Collaborative of New Mexico (ORCNM) presented project updates to the Cibola County Commissioners, highlighting several significant accomplishments that reflect the county’s commitment to prevention, education, and community well-being.
A major milestone celebrated during the presentation was the successful completion of the Cibola County NARCAN Box Project. Four publicly accessible NARCAN boxes have now been installed throughout the county, providing residents with convenient access to lifesaving overdose-reversal medication. These strategically placed resources help ensure community members are equipped to respond quickly during overdose emergencies.
ORCNM also shared updates on the completion of its suite of digital resources, including the launch of Teen Seen, a new app designed to support youth who may be experiencing behavioral health or substance use challenges. The app provides accessible, youth-focused resources intended to promote early intervention and support.
In addition, ORCNM announced its approval as an official Continuing Medical Education (CME) Provider in New Mexico. This designation expands ORCNM’s ability to offer high-quality educational opportunities and workforce development training to rural healthcare providers and community partners.
The presentation reinforced ORCNM’s commitment to working alongside Cibola County and regional partners to strengthen behavioral health and substance use services throughout rural New Mexico. Together, these efforts are building more connected, responsive, and supportive systems of care for the communities they serve.
