About

About Guidance Center

A non-profit community behavioral health center located at 2187 North Vickey Street in Flagstaff, Arizona, Guidance Center occupies an important place in Coconino County’s substance use treatment landscape. The center’s own description emphasizes a full spectrum of behavioral health services, and its substance use programming reflects that breadth — beginning with withdrawal management and extending through longer-term recovery support.

Medical detox is the entry-level clinical service for people whose bodies require supervised withdrawal before further treatment can begin. Beyond detox, the center provides residential treatment for those who need structured, immersive care, and an outpatient program for individuals who can engage in treatment while living in the community. These three levels of care represent a meaningful continuum within a single substance use treatment organization.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the therapeutic method the center uses within its programming. Guidance Center also addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, and trauma and PTSD are among the conditions the center treats. English is the language of service delivery.

Financially, the center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay, making it accessible to people across a wide range of financial circumstances. A 24-hour crisis hotline — 1-877-756-4090 — is available for those who need immediate guidance outside of the center’s administrative hours of 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Flagstaff

Medical detox is the clinical process of managing the physical symptoms of withdrawal in a supervised setting — the necessary first step for many people before any longer-term treatment can begin. Guidance Center provides this level of care in Flagstaff, AZ, positioning it as a starting resource for individuals whose substance use has created a physical dependence that requires professional management.

For those who need to speak with someone immediately, the center operates a 24-hour crisis hotline at 1-877-756-4090. The center's administrative offices are open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and can be reached at (928) 527-1899.

Residential Treatment and Outpatient Programs

Following medical detox, Guidance Center's continuum extends to residential treatment — a more intensive level of care for individuals who need structured support beyond the acute withdrawal phase. Residential treatment allows for focused work on the behavioral and psychological dimensions of substance use.

The center's outpatient program provides a third tier of care, suited to individuals who are stable enough to engage in treatment while maintaining their daily lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the therapeutic method used across the center's programming, offering a structured framework for identifying and changing the patterns of thinking that contribute to substance use.

Co-Occurring Disorders, Trauma, and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Guidance Center treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, and also addresses trauma and PTSD. Many people entering detox or residential care carry a history of trauma or a concurrent mental health condition, and the center's scope of treatment reflects that clinical reality.

This dual-focus approach — substance use and behavioral health together — is consistent with the center's description of itself as a community behavioral health center rather than a narrowly defined detox-only facility.

Who Guidance Center Serves and How to Pay

Guidance Center serves veterans, pregnant women, young adults (18–25), seniors and older adults, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing. This breadth reflects the center's role as a community behavioral health resource in Flagstaff.

On the financial side, accepted payment methods include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay. TRICARE acceptance makes the center a direct option for veterans and active-duty military families. The sliding-scale fee structure extends access to those without comprehensive insurance coverage.
