Southwest Behavioral and Health Servs - Methadone Maintenance/OP Clinic

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is a few streets away in Phoenix.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Phoenix has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

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

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Phoenix.

Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.

The two feed each other, which is why handling them separately tends to work badly. A diagnosis made during active use often changes once withdrawal is behind somebody. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.

A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. That rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it, which is worth knowing when you weigh it. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.
