About

About Guidance Center

Medical detox is the most acute level of care available at Guidance Center, a non-profit, community behavioral health center located in Flagstaff, Arizona. Medically supervised withdrawal management marks the clinical starting point for people whose substance use requires careful physiological stabilization before any further treatment can take hold. The center is reachable at (928) 527-1899, and a 24-hour crisis hotline — 1-877-756-4090 — is published on the facility’s own website for people who need to reach someone outside standard office hours.

Beyond medical detox, the center provides residential treatment and an outpatient program, giving people access to different intensities of care as their clinical needs change. Residential treatment supports structured, immersive recovery for people who need more than withdrawal management alone. The outpatient program allows individuals to engage with treatment while maintaining ties to daily life. Together, these three levels of care represent a meaningful range of options within a single Flagstaff location.

Guidance Center addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is among the therapeutic methods the center employs. Trauma and PTSD are also treated, reflecting a recognition that unresolved trauma frequently intersects with substance dependence. Services are delivered in English.

On the financial side, Guidance Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay, keeping access as wide as possible for people navigating the cost of detox and treatment.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Flagstaff

Medical detox sits at the highest level of clinical intensity that Guidance Center provides. In general practice, medically supervised detox is designed to manage the physiological risks of withdrawal from substances in a structured clinical setting, and it is typically the necessary first step before longer-term treatment becomes possible. Guidance Center makes this level of care available in Flagstaff at 2187 North Vickey Street.

For people or families in an urgent situation, the center's website publishes a 24-hour crisis hotline at 1-877-756-4090. The main facility line is (928) 527-1899, and office hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.

Levels of Care: From Detox Through Outpatient

After medical detox, Guidance Center offers residential treatment for individuals who need sustained, structured support beyond the withdrawal phase. Residential treatment provides an immersive environment where ongoing recovery work can continue without the disruptions of daily life outside a treatment setting.

An outpatient program rounds out the continuum, serving people who are stable enough to live outside a treatment setting while still benefiting from structured clinical contact. Having all three levels — medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient — available through the same Flagstaff center means patients can step through different intensities of care as their needs evolve.

Co-Occurring Disorders, Trauma, and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Guidance Center treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that substance use and mental health conditions frequently appear together. Trauma and PTSD are also within the center's scope of care — a clinically significant focus given how often unresolved trauma underlies or sustains addictive behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is among the therapeutic methods used at the center.

The scope of what is treated at Guidance Center reflects its identity as a community behavioral health center rather than a narrowly defined detox-only program.

Who Guidance Center Serves and How to Pay

Guidance Center serves a wide range of populations: veterans, pregnant women, young adults aged 18 to 25, seniors and older adults, men, women, people living with HIV/AIDS, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. This breadth reflects the center's mission as a community-oriented non-profit serving Flagstaff and its surrounding areas.

Payment options cover a similarly wide range. The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay. The sliding-scale option in particular can lower financial barriers for people who do not have insurance coverage but still need access to medically supervised withdrawal management and treatment.
