How we help

We are here 24/7/365 to get you
the care and treatment you need.

Walk-in mental
health clinic

Each of our centers has a 24/7 walk-in mental health clinic that is open to all individuals in need of mental health support. Individuals are seen by a trained crisis worker within 90 minutes.

Crisis
stabilization

Providers and peers with lived experience help individuals stabilize in a treatment-oriented and safe environment. Individuals are typically stabilized within 24 hours of treatment starting.

Extended
stabilization services

For individuals needing more intensive care and treatment, our subacute crisis stabilization unit allows them to stay under the care of a behavioral health provider so stabilization can continue to occur within their community.

Recovery support
and coaching

Our Transitions program is designed to surround individuals with the care and community-based resources needed to stay on a path to recovery. Individuals who enroll in the program typically graduate within 45 days.

Insurance

We accept everyone.
Just walk in. No exceptions.
No judgment.

Connections Arizona Patient 

I have never been to a clinic like this one before. The doctor is very respectful and understanding about my situation. I like how my life is beginning to change. This has been by far the most effective treatment program I have been to.

Admittedly, I never wanted to go there. But if I had to go again I would want to go there and nowhere else. I have never been in a medical facility with nicer staff. Both men and women. From the medical assistants to the nurses, the doctors, everyone is a five-star person. Absolutely amazing. They were calm they were helpful and they tried to do their best for every single patient. That's pretty awesome. It means they love what they do. They are very good at it.
