About La Frontera Center – South Tucson Clinic

La Frontera Center’s South Tucson Clinic in Tucson, Arizona, offers behavioral health services, including substance use disorder (SUD) treatment in an outpatient setting. Programs and services are available to clients of all ages.

Comprehensive Mental Healthcare in South Tucson

You can access addiction treatment and mental health care services at the same location. When services are easily accessible, it’s much easier to stick with recovery. I like that the clinic partners with nearby primary healthcare physicians to support the whole person, not just the SUD.

Clients have praised the “heartful staff who go above and beyond.” A few reviews mention high staff turnover, but overall, clients seem to appreciate the care they receive.

Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorders

I found that medication assisted treatment (MAT) is one option for clients recovering from opioid use disorders here. This clinic offers methadone and Suboxone, and both are evidence based options that can help recovery feel more manageable. 

Support for  Clients Involved in the Justice System

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is designed to help clients involved in the criminal justice system who struggle with substance use. The program emphasizes accountability and healthier decision making. 

Convenience and Flexible Payment Plans

La Frontera Center’s South Tucson Clinic is just steps away from a Sun Tran bus stop, making it easy to get to appointments. I appreciate the discounted fees and language services, making care accessible to clients of all backgrounds.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Metropolitan Area

Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

When individuals choose a young adult program in Arizona, they receive multidisciplinary care that addresses all aspects of their lives. Treatment focuses on physical, social, educational, and emotional needs, encompassing both addiction and dual diagnosis treatment.

Adult Program

A rehab adult program in Arizona provides treatment for addiction. Adults (age 18+) participate in various therapies that are designed to break the cycle of substance abuse and teach new coping skills so the individual can maintain a healthy, sober lifestyle.

Alcoholism

If you’re struggling with alcohol use disorder, alcohol rehab in Arizona can help. Many treatment options are available to help individuals recover and take steps to create a healthy and fulfilling life. Programs include long-term, short-term, inpatient, and outpatient alcohol rehab.

Men's Rehab

Men and women often respond differently to addiction and addiction treatment. Men’s rehab in Arizona addresses these differences to provide the most effective recovery treatment for men.

Women's Rehab

Women’s experiences with addiction can differ greatly from men’s. Women’s rehab in Arizona addresses these differences and provides gender-specific treatment targeted to meet women’s needs.

Opioid Treatment

Individuals who attend opioid rehab in Arizona are provided a safe and comfortable environment where they can focus on sobriety. The goal of treatment is to address issues that drive dependence and help individuals learn how to live independently from opioid use.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Arizona teaches individuals in addiction treatment to connect their feelings, thoughts, and actions to discover how these impact their recovery. This treatment method is frequently used for the treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

The foundation of rational emotive behavioral therapy in Arizona is the philosophy that beliefs about an event, rather than events themselves, affect emotions. These beliefs drive behaviors, such as substance abuse, which can be changed if the thought process changes.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Arizona often serves as a transition from inpatient treatment to aftercare programs. It is suitable for those who are coping well in recovery but still need a high level of accountability from counselors and peers.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you are struggling with both addiction and mental illness, you need Arizona dual diagnosis treatment. Because one condition can aggravate the other, this integrated method treats both at the same time, for better recovery results.

Inpatient Rehab

Residential or inpatient treatment is the most intensive level of care offered at drug rehabs in Arizona. It involves living at the rehab facility, and they have 24/7 access to medical professionals. A combination of treatment interventions is offered, including therapy and medication management

Detox & MAT

Drug rehab in Arizona typically begins with detox, which is the process of ridding your body of addictive substances. Medical professionals will customize your detoxification and create a recovery plan that fits you best.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services in Arizona are designed to encourage a loved one to get the treatment they need. Services include professional assistance with staging an intervention, development of a treatment program, and guidance with selection of and admittance to drug rehab in Arizona.
