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.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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 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.
Dual 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 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.
Opioid 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.
Clinical Services
Group 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.
Individual 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.
