Aurora Behavioral Health System East

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

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Tempe has 8 other centers to compare.

One of their programs is built for adult women, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 3 named here.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Tempe, not all of them do.

Tempe has 69 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Most of the programs listed here take mandated clients. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Ask exactly what gets reported, to whom, and how often.

Outpatient keeps work, school and family going. Inpatient pauses them. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask what the fastest route into treatment is this week, and take that answer seriously.
