Anza Wellness and Recovery Center

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Tempe has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Tempe, 1.7 miles away.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Tempe.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Tempe.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Tempe differ on it.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.

Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
