Ciudad Juárez, March 2, 2026 – The Municipal Government of Ciudad Juárez, through its Health Department, has announced the opening of the 2026 Scholarship Program for Rehabilitation Centers. This initiative aims to provide 150 financial supports for individuals undergoing addiction treatment, with each scholarship valued at 20,000 Mexican pesos.
Program Aims to Support Addiction Treatment
Dr. Jonathan Garibo, Medical Coordinator of the Municipal Health Department, and teacher Alejandra Reyes, explained that the program’s primary objective is to offer economic assistance for the inpatient and residential treatment of people struggling with addiction. The 20,000-peso scholarship will be directly disbursed to the residential centers where the beneficiaries are receiving treatment, covering either partially or fully the costs associated with their rehabilitation.
This program underscores the municipal administration’s commitment to addressing public health challenges, particularly those related to addiction, which significantly impacts individuals, families, and the community at large.
Eligibility Requirements for Applicants
To be considered for the scholarship, interested individuals must meet the following criteria:
- Be a resident of Ciudad Juárez.
- Be enrolled in a formally established rehabilitation center.
- Present a valid official identification.
- Provide a recent proof of address.
- Submit a certificate from the rehabilitation center confirming their ongoing treatment.

Comprehensive Care and Rehabilitation Program
Rehabilitation centers participating in the program offer comprehensive care that includes medical evaluations, psychological counseling, individual and group therapies, family support, and strategies for relapse prevention. The rehabilitation program is structured in various phases, encompassing supervised detoxification, emotional stabilization, and the development of essential life skills. Additionally, formative activities are integrated to support the social reintegration of beneficiaries.
The timely intervention in addiction cases is crucial due to its profound impact on public health, safety, and family stability.
