About

About Guidance Center

Veterans, pregnant women, seniors, young adults, men, and women seeking withdrawal management and addiction treatment in Flagstaff, AZ have a non-profit community behavioral health option at Guidance Center on North Vickey Street. The center operates under a community-focused mission, functioning as part of the fabric of Flagstaff rather than as a commercial provider. A 24-hour crisis hotline — reachable at 1-877-756-4090 — sits alongside its scheduled programming, giving people a point of contact when the need is most acute.

The center provides three levels of care: medical detox for those requiring supervised withdrawal management, residential treatment for those who need structured ongoing support after detox, and an outpatient program for individuals who can engage in treatment while living in the community. The presence of all three levels within one program means a person can move from detox through residential and into outpatient care under the same roof.

Guidance Center addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, and trauma and PTSD are conditions the program treats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a therapeutic method used at the center. The program conducts services in English, and the center is set up to serve individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing, which broadens access beyond the typical communication assumptions built into most behavioral health programs.

The populations Guidance Center serves reflect a deliberately wide reach: veterans and active-duty military covered under TRICARE, pregnant women, older adults, young adults between 18 and 25, and individuals requiring HIV/AIDS support. On the payment side, the center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay, removing financial barriers that often delay someone from entering detox or residential care. As a non-profit, Guidance Center’s organizational structure is oriented toward community access rather than profit margin.

  • Medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient programming available within a single non-profit behavioral health center in Flagstaff, AZ
  • Accepts TRICARE, making the program accessible to veterans and active-duty military seeking withdrawal management
  • Serves pregnant women, seniors, young adults, people with HIV/AIDS, and Deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals — populations requiring specialized access considerations
  • Treats co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD alongside substance use, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a therapeutic method
  • Sliding-scale fees, Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay options alongside private insurance reduce financial obstacles to entering detox

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management at Guidance Center

Medical detox is the first level of care for people whose bodies have become physically dependent on substances and who require supervised withdrawal management before engaging in longer-term treatment. At Guidance Center, medical detox is one of three levels of care the program provides, placing it at the clinical front end of a continuum that continues through residential treatment and into outpatient programming.

For families or individuals trying to reach the center outside of scheduled office hours, a 24-hour crisis hotline is available at 1-877-756-4090. Guidance Center's office schedule runs Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with the center closed on weekends. The crisis line provides a contact point whenever the need arises.

Who Guidance Center Serves

Guidance Center's program is built to serve a broad range of people seeking addiction treatment and withdrawal management in Flagstaff. Veterans and military-connected individuals can use TRICARE coverage at this center. The program also serves pregnant women, seniors and older adults, young adults between 18 and 25, and individuals who need HIV/AIDS support. People who are Deaf or hard of hearing are among the populations the center accommodates.

This breadth of population focus reflects the center's non-profit, community behavioral health orientation. Rather than narrowing to a single demographic, Guidance Center operates as a general-access resource for Flagstaff residents with substance use and co-occurring mental health needs, including trauma and PTSD.

Payment Options for Detox and Treatment

Cost and insurance coverage are among the first practical questions people ask when searching for a detox center. Guidance Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay, covering a wide range of financial situations. The sliding-scale option is particularly relevant for people who are uninsured or underinsured and might otherwise defer seeking withdrawal management due to cost.

Individuals with TRICARE — the federal insurance program for military members, retirees, and their families — can use that coverage at Guidance Center, which is meaningful for veterans in the Flagstaff area seeking medically supervised detox or residential treatment.

Co-Occurring Disorders and Trauma Treatment

Substance use and mental health conditions frequently occur together, and Guidance Center addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis as part of its treatment scope. Trauma and PTSD are also conditions the program treats — a relevant consideration for veterans and others whose substance use is intertwined with traumatic experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a therapeutic method used at the center. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thought and behavior connected to substance use and mental health symptoms. Its presence within the program reflects a clinical orientation toward addressing the psychological dimensions of addiction alongside the physical process of detox and withdrawal management.
