About this Recovery Home
The Lighthouse Mission is a coed recovery home in Clovis, New Mexico, the seat of Curry County, on L. Casillas Boulevard. It is a nonprofit religious corporation that shelters people who have nowhere else to go and works with those trying to get free of addiction.
A Clovis Recovery Home Inside a Rescue Mission
The mission model shapes everything about the house. Shelter, meals and clothing come first, and they come without the screening most sober living homes apply at the door. Someone arrives, gets a bed and gets fed, and the recovery work starts from there. For a person in Clovis with no money, no identification and no family left willing to help, that sequence is the difference between a roof and a night outside. The stated purpose is to meet the needs of the whole person, in body, soul and spirit.
Faith-Based Recovery Housing in Eastern New Mexico
This is a Christian ministry and it does not disguise it. Scripture is quoted on the wall, spiritual guidance is part of the day, and the people who run it describe the work as serving Christ and community. A resident who wants that framing will find it consistent. A resident who wants a secular sober house should look elsewhere in the region and should ask before applying.
What Sober Living Oversight Exists in New Mexico
None, in the formal sense. The state does not license, register or certify recovery residences, and there is no New Mexico affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Shelters and missions operate inside the same absence. What a family can check is the organization's standing in its own town: how long it has served Clovis, who runs it, what local churches and agencies say about it, and whether it will put its expectations in writing before someone moves in.
Curry County Recovery Housing on the High Plains
Clovis is the county seat of Curry County, on the High Plains at the Texas line, and it sits a long way from anywhere with a large treatment system. Cannon Air Force Base is just west of town, the rail yard is a major employer, and agriculture fills in the rest. Lubbock, across the state line, is closer than Santa Fe. That isolation is the central fact about recovery housing in eastern New Mexico: the options are few, and the ones that exist carry a load they were never sized for. Portales, Texico, Fort Sumner and the surrounding ranch country all look to Clovis for services.
Reaching This Clovis Sober Living Program
Intake runs through the mission directly. The questions worth asking are practical: whether beds are separated by gender, whether there is a limit on how long someone can stay, what is expected in exchange for a bed, whether a resident on prescribed medication for opioid use disorder is welcome, and what happens after a relapse. A mission answers those differently from a fee-based sober house, and getting the answer up front prevents a bad match.
