What the 1115 Reentry Waiver Requires

Beginning January 2026, all New Mexico jails must provide:

  • MAT inductions (Suboxone) prior to release
  • Not just continuation of existing MAT
  • Up to 30 days of pre-release care

Jails must demonstrate:

  • A clinical induction workflow
  • Appropriate medical oversight
  • Documentation to support Waiver compliance
  • Continuation-of-care linkage after release

Porch Light Health helps you meet all of these requirements efficiently and with minimal operational disruption.
