Sobering Center Opens In San Juan County

FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) — A facility that will help people with alcohol addiction is set to open in San Juan County this week. The Sobering Center is scheduled to open today. County officials say the sobering center will fill a gap left by the Four Winds Recovery Center. Four Winds Recovery has long been the only detox center in the county. San Juan Regional Medical Center, the city of Farmington and Presbyterian Medical Services all worked with the county to open the Sobering Center. It has private rooms for transgender people or those having a mental health crisis.
