The largest detoxification center in New Mexico is scheduled to close and reopen under a new name and management: The Navajo Nation. The Na'Nizhoozhi Center, Inc., served nearly 24,000 people in 2012 and averaged between 75 and 100 intakes per day. Considering the small population of Gallup, that's a lot of people. But the Northwestern New Mexico town is considered a border town, because it borders the Navajo Nation. NCI serves residents from the entire Four Corners area, with 40 percent of its clientele referred from Arizona, and a majority of services provided to Navajo Tribal members.Get the Story:
