West Yavapai Guidance Clinic - Windsong Center

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

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

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Prescott Valley does.

They offer a program for LGBTQ clients, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Prescott Valley has 8 other centers to ask.

Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.

The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Describe the house you would be going back to, because that is the detail that decides it.
