About Lifewell – Mitchell

Lifewell Behavioral Wellness - Mitchell is a nonprofit behavioral health and substance abuse support center in Phoenix, Arizona, just south of Steele Indian School Park. They provide integrated healthcare services to low income clients to promote greater health within their communities. They serve adult clients.

Lifewell’s treatment plans are individualized to meet the needs of each client based on personal experience, gender, and cultural needs. They specialize in treating adults with severe mental illness (SMI). Services include residential treatment, outpatient treatment, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

The residential program is designed for those with severe symptoms requiring close supervision. Clients in this program live at the facility during treatment under the watch and care of staff. Clients may be referred to detox before they can enter this program.

During treatment, clients follow a highly structured schedule of recovery activities. These include counseling (in individual and group settings), psychiatric services, and life and coping skills training. Parents also have access to nursery services.

The outpatient program is a lower level of care, designed for those with mild symptoms who have stabilized. Clients attend treatment while continuing to live at home. Treatment includes individual and group counseling, medication management services, peer support programs, and case management services.

MAT uses prescribed medication to help with treatment. Qualifying clients receive FDA-approved medication, and their dosing and progress are closely monitored by staff.

Lifewell accepts many major insurance plans, including BlueCross BlueShield, Mercy Care, Molina Healthcare, and UnitedHealthcare. However, since in network and out of network benefits may vary, clients should confirm coverage with their insurance provider before enrolling in a rehabilitation program.

Not professional at all, case workers never answer, I stay on hold for 10+ minutes sometimes. I ve had 3 different case workers & now working with no med doctor after mine left, it s now been almost a month without her and been hectic, trying to transfer is a nightmare since it apparently takes 30-45 days and case workers tell me they can t reach the new office, it s rather embarrassing. For your mental healths sake, DO NOT come here. Instead of opening more locations this and Southwest Network off Bell & 32nd st both need to be destroyed.

This facility is not healing, nurturing, or a safe space. Staff changed constantly or just left with out replacements. Treatment plans change, due to lack of therapists. Rude receptionist My advice find a good fit for you. This is not it.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Lifewell – Mitchell works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

AHCCCS

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
The safest way to remove addictive substances from your body is done under the care of licensed medical professionals. Known as medically assisted detox, this level of care is typically in an inpatient setting with a team of medical experts that may include doctors, nurses, and mental health clinicians. Medications like Suboxone, methadone, or Vivitrol may be administered to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

This place should be shut down by the state for failing to properly serve its clients. Every time I need something, I have to call back twice when I'm told to leave a message. The last time I tried to schedule an appointment I was transferred to a voicemail and I left detailed instructions on how to contact me back. I never received that email. They know my phone is broken, I've stated that clearly to everyone I've spoken to and I know they can communicate via email because my case manager has contacted me that way. This doesn't even touch how poorly I've been treated by their doctors. I would encourage every client who has had a bad experience here to contact Mercy Care and share their experience because collectively, the SMI population of Arizona already has enough grief and heartache in their lives, and these clinics are a horrible disservice for people who don't have choices or even know their rights as patients.

Best of luck to anyone who has the misfortune of being affiliated with this company. You can make great strides & successfully reach goals & without a second glance you're called a liar & thrown in the trash. Don't let yourself down, seek your better self elsewhere, these people do not care about you.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I would give zero stars if I could. Staffing is incompetent in their work field and greatly lack communication with each other and the people seeking services. Tell you one thing and a different staff member will tell you otherwise. They Don t answer phone calls and take days- even weeks to return them. Crystal, Chris, and Jenny have no business working within this establishment. LifeWell should be ashamed of itself. After 3 months trying to get services all I have to show for it is a Waste of Time and A Headache speaking or waiting on return calls with Incompetent, Deceiving, Ignorant, Apathetic Staff Members.

I have voice recordings evidence of them violating the law regarding mental health if any attorney wants to take on my case. Lifewell will resist working with you until you are out of medication, then they will petition you because you act out. They entrap you so that you get court ordered to receive their services only. They will not let you leave for another clinic without signing a Release of Information, but you can't trust anything Lifewell says. I've been with them for over 3 years and still don't have housing. I have no felonies, and am NOT a sex offender. I have decent credit for an apartment. Still nothing. They are useless. Steer clear, they violate laws and they do NOT care.

I respect all of the struggles. But don't rely on "Life Well." Do it for yourselves. Life Well is only there to make money for themselves and they really don't give a damn about you.
