N.M. Code R. § 16.47.1.20
Although relapse (failure to maintain abstinence) is not inevitable, it is common for relapse to occur in recovery from alcoholism or other substance dependence. Therefore, a licensee who is engaged in a formal program of recovery, and is compliant with all provisions other than abstinence, will not be regarded automatically as having committed a new offense.
16.47.21 POST-RELAPSE PROCEDURES:
B. The board of stewards or the commission will determine whether a new offense has occurred in each instance. If a new offense has occurred, the board of stewards or the commission will proceed under Subsections B or C of 16.47.1.18 NMAC. Otherwise, the licensee shall continue in the agreed upon program of recovery.
