BERNALILLO RESIDENTIAL REHAB FACILITY is actually Narconon.

I wonder if we can turn this around. Ideas?

AN ACT

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR A RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION AND TRANSITION FACILITY IN BERNALILLO COUNTY.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO:

Section 1. APPROPRIATION.--Three million six hundred thousand dollars ($3,600,000) is appropriated from the general fund to the local government division of the department of finance and administration for expenditure in fiscal year 2008 to contract with a private entity in Bernalillo county to operate a secure, long-term, statewide, multijurisdictional residential rehabilitation and transition facility that admits persons who have been ordered to the facility by a New Mexico court. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2008 shall revert to the general fund.

I found this article and thought that it was interesting.

This University of New Mexico professor, Dr. William R. Miller, is at the top of drug and alcohol treatment research. Dr. Miller is also the author of Motivational Interviewing, probably the most recognized of addiction treatment theoretical orientations that are being utilized by addiction professionals today.

I would highly recomment that someone bring to his attention the fact that tax payer dollars (and a lot of them) are being diverted to pseudo-Narconon faclilites and treatment centers. I would imagine that he would be outspoken about something like this... but I certainly don't speak for him. :o
