About Polara Health – Cortez Clinic
Polara Health’s Cortez Clinic has outpatient programs for adults aged 18 and older. Their staff offers addiction treatment and mental health care. It’s located out in Prescott, Arizona. The facility is proudly LGBTQIA+ friendly and inclusive, prioritizing underserved and low-income populations in Yavapai County.
Medicaid (AHCCCS) and Medicare are accepted, along with other major insurance providers. Sliding scale fees, grant funding, and community support may also be available to eligible individuals.
Holistic Outpatient Care for Substance Abuse
The clinic runs a Suboxone program as part of its medication-assisted treatment (MAT), with this medicine chosen for its ability to help clients manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while preventing their risk of overdose. MAT is offered on an outpatient basis, through either standard outpatient care, or the intensive outpatient program (IOP).
The IOP uses a blend of expressive psychotherapy, 12 Step facilitation, motivational enhancement, and psychoeducation, alongside tools like MAT, for a rounded approach to care. Participants meet for 36 sessions, thrice per week. Each session lasts around 3 hours, with clients learning about substances, the science behind substance abuse, triggers, as well as healthy coping skills to avoid relapse, concurrent disorders, and emotional expression skills.
Each participant in the IOP is assigned a case manager or a substance abuse therapist, who they’ll meet with for one-to-one sessions to resolve relational, financial, and legal issues. These sessions are also used to coach clients through relapse prevention skills as well as coaching on relapse prevention skills unique to their situation.
Inpatient & Enhanced Outpatient Support
Clients in need of more intensive support may be referred to the organization’s residential program at Hillside Recovery Center. Just a 20-minute drive away, it’s a hub for recovery and community living.
Meanwhile, this clinic also offers a specialized enhanced outpatient program (EOP), which, similar to the IOP, meets three days or nights per week. Participants are expected to complete assignments centered around substance abuse, while attending weekly self-help groups.
