Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Arizona is the process of treating individuals who are dependent on a particular addictive drug. Because addiction is complex, this treatment typically includes a variety of interventions that address the many physical and emotional issues involved.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Check icon Accreditations

CARF

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966, CARF's, mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care.

The provider literally lied to me and said they as a clinic don't prescribe benzodiazapines. I called the office and the representative confirmed they do however prescribe benzos at there facility. Who's lying?

My son is Autistic and I 100% recommend La Frontera Apache Junction for Behavioral Health Case Management (BHCM). My son has had the same struggles for 8 years. He was diagnosed autistic in 2021. I fought so hard for resources on my own and all I found were waiting lists and frustration until my son was inpatient at PCH for the 2nd time. They introduced us to BHCS that was helpful, but lacking in many ways. We were in crisis and found La Frontera in Apache Junction. It was life changing. We were fortunate to have Jennifer Andino assigned to our high needs case. With Jennifer and my son s team, I felt like we moved mountains in 6 weeks. After years of struggles, we found a path to solution in 6 weeks. It still blows my mind. We accomplished what seemed impossible. I am beyond thankful. Not only do they provide a case manager for the patient, but they also provide a family support partner to be there for the family. When my son s care was at a crucial state, the supervisor was on every call.If you or your loved one are not getting the resources you need, I highly recommend La Frontera Apache Junction.I cannot thank Jennifer Andino enough for her strength, knowledge, and relentlessness. We are all in a safer situation because of her.

La Frontera is awful. Not just the workers but the building is as well. It's in a very trashy area. Homeless people are sitting outside the building. I was sitting in the waiting room then a homeless man that I previously saw sitting on the ground outside walked in and sat next to me. Moving on to the staff. When your trying to get registered don't expect it to be super short your probably going to have your first meeting about a month later. The staff don't care about the mentally ill patients they are only their for the money. Don't waste your time here It's not worth it.

If I could give negative stars to La Frontera EMPACT Apache Junction, I would.My advice would be to stay as far away from this place as possible. They do not have your best interests in mind; they are only interested in getting paid for your being a client.A "Case Manager" (let's call her Famie Jischer) never once called her client in almost a year, though she did text once asking for a social security number. Without identifying herself.No managing of the case was observed. In effect, she is a case non-manager.Bringing these and other grievances to her supervisor's and the clinic director's attention resulted in a "passing of the buck" wherein no one took responsibility for or was held accountable for the declining mental health of a client and his caretaker. Ignoring someone with suicidal ideation does not, in fact, result in improved thought processes, which the staff seemed blissfully unaware of.Even when appointments were made, showing up in a timely manner only happened on the client's side, as the case non-manager was unaware of the appointment that had been made. Even though the caretaker had scheduled said appointment WITH that case non-manager. Her glaring ignorance of the services provided became apparent during this meeting. An accurate foreboding of what was to come.You are better off foregoing treatment entirely than filling out the reams of paperwork and going through the hours of intake interviews only to be completely neglected once you're approved. This type of treatment only serves to make people feel, and even more importantly, believe, that they are not worth anyone's time or effort, which is contrary to what an agency such as LA Frontera EMPACT Apache Junction professes to be.Once again, RUN, don't walk, to a different agency if you or a loved one needs mental health services.

I honestly feel traumatized from my experience I DO NOT La Frontera. Go anywhere elseI many horrible experiences!!!!!!! I had an intake one day, then asked to meet with a case manager and a phyciatrist on the same day which was a lot emotionally having back to back intakes.It started out they appointed me to a peer support specialist. I sat in the lobby 30 minutes after appointment time. She finally took me back to the office, she said she didn't know if they called her name bc a lot of people's name sound like hers, she was full of energy, she had a lot of facial movements, seemed like she was on drugs, she was singing out in the middle of the meeting, she told me she had keys to the place and we could be there all day, I let her know I had other animals at home to tend to and that wasn't my intention. I was needing help with my SSI application. She wrote a bunch of stuff on it without really discussing what it was! I let my case manager know I wanted to talk with her about the peer support, she called right away and said some people hate or love that energy I expressed I was not one to love that and they changed me to peer support number 2. When she first arrived she announced that she was only in AZ till her parents died which seemed negative ok. Then she said I need to stop at the store so she went to a gas station to get her drink, then took us took welfare office and waited for us, Next visit war XO of the social security office. I have my 12 year old son with us. This peer support is cussing in front of him, talking about guys kissing her and then she puts her hand on my son's leg!!!!! I leaned into the situation to let her know mama bear doesn't play that! She went outside got her own paperwork and went to talk to the security guard. The next time she picked me up it was to go to the DMV to report a sale of a vehicle. The DMV ended up being closed ,she took us to check one other and then she wanted to stop at the store again to get drinks, she took us to the library and got out a hug tumbler to pour her drink, she told my son and I she would catch up she had to go the bathroom, then I saw her sneaking smoking a vape in her arm sleeve and blowing it out so I wouldn't see. I told me son I had a strange feeling she was drinking alcohol but I don't know, then she took me to a red box to drop off a movie I asked her at beginning,when I got out of the car and took 2 minutes to return my movie when I came back, the woman was smoking her vape in the car with my child!!!!!! I didn't say anything yet, I asked to go to DMV as it was open now, she told me she couldn't wait for a few for us to do that so she could drop me off but not wait. She had already disclosed to me she didn't have any other appointments till 1 and it was 11. I wrote the case manager to let her know what happened. The peer support wrote me and said she was sorry for smoking in the car with my son and sometimes she forgets what car she's in!!!!!!! I told her it doesn't matter what car she's in it's illegal to smoke around a minor. My son got sick after that for 2 weeks. He was a premie and had lung issues. I want to sue this place if anyone knows a lawyer to do that.I was notified my case manager was changing. I had been waiting 6 months to speak to a counselor. One was appointed in December but she didn't call till February and since she called wrong number,she never called back. I told the old case manager I was about to do a review on their establishment and then all the sudden a new case manager and a higher up manager called to make sure I was getting what I needed. They never told me if the peer support were talked to or what they did. I finally got a call from a counselor who was laughing when she called asking if I still wanted services I said I did. Then I came to meet her and she did not make eye contact or smile she just called my name, took me to the office, said she was looking at my goal I set 6 months prior, I told her I didn't even recall what that was at this point. She gave me a worksheet to lay down in stream and fl
