Maricopa UPC Phoenix

Maricopa UPC Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona is a crisis and psychiatric addiction treatment center offering urgent behavioral health care for adults.

They provide walk-in mental health assessments, a crisis stabilization unit, a 23-hour stabilization stay, and follow-up outpatient support via their Transitions program.

Convenient Treatment Options

I like that services include a walk-in mental health clinic with no appointment needed, crisis stabilization and a 23-hour stabilization unit for acute psychiatric care. They also offer outpatient follow-up through the Transitions program, which helps with recovery-oriented planning after the crisis phase.

Treatment begins with a comprehensive mental health assessment by a multidisciplinary team including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, counselors, social workers, and peer-support staff.

They also offer temporary medication refills during crises and create individualized discharge plans linking clients to therapy, medication management, and community resources.

Close to Downtown

The facility is located in central Phoenix at 7th Avenue and Buckeye Road. I like that it’s close to downtown surroundings near public transportation, shops, eateries and hospitals. Admissions are walk-in during operational hours, so that people can come directly for crisis services when needed.

Crisis assessment and stabilization services are provided regardless of insurance, so uninsured clients are still seen and stabilized. For ongoing/outpatient services, they accept Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance.

Reviewers appreciate the compassionate staff and rapid response during crisis, though some note challenges with comfort or involuntary admissions.
