More about Las Cruces Recovery Center
The work covers physical and behavioral health together—detox difficulties, medications including narcotics, admissions and discharges—and you supervise LPNs, CNAs, and other staff on your assigned shift while watching acuity, census, and staffing. The center opened in late summer 2024 under Summit BHC as its second New Mexico facility. It serves adults across detoxification, residential treatment, and structured outpatient programs for substance use and mental health needs. Full-time roles are posted for days and nights, on site only. Postings mention training opportunities and list comprehensive benefits with competitive salary, and they encourage veterans and military spouses to apply. Behavioral health experience is preferred. Third-party sites estimate RN pay in a broad band; the employer has not posted a confirmed range in the materials we have.

Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- Detox through residential and outpatient continuum for adult SUD and mental health
- RN scope includes meds, admissions/discharges, and supervising LPNs and CNAs
- Full-time days and nights shifts posted
- Training opportunities noted in postings
- Veterans and military spouses encouraged to apply
- Operated within the Summit BHC network
The hard parts
- Employer has not posted a confirmed salary range; only third-party estimates exist
- Behavioral health experience preferred, which can narrow fit for nurses without that background
- Facility opened in 2024, so culture and unit routines are still early
- On-site only; no home-office option
What to weigh
Published pay figures are third-party estimates around $60,000–$84,000 a year, not a salary range the employer has posted.
