Due to COVID-19, some Behavioral Health group services will be offered as individual counseling services, only. In some instances, patients will be able to receive a shortened once/weekly individual counseling session that will be counted as their normal group attendance for the week. Individual counseling will be held in the office (face-to-face), via telehealth (video and audio), or telephonically (audio only).   New patients will still be accepted for all groups, and their counseling format will be discussed with them, at that time. This includes: IOP; Men’s DV; SAT (Tele-health Substance Abuse Treatment) Group; and Native STAND.

NATIVE HEALTH’s Behavioral Health Department is licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services  as an outpatient treatment center and for misdemeanor domestic violence offender treatment services. NATIVE HEALTH accepts AHCCCS Complete Care (ACC) plans.
