Flagstaff Medical Center Behavioral Health Services operates as a hospital-based residential treatment program serving Flagstaff and Northern Arizona communities since 1996. Located at 1200 North Beaver Street in Flagstaff, this addiction treatment center provides medical oversight within a full hospital setting for adults seeking comprehensive recovery support.
The facility focuses exclusively on residential treatment for substance abuse, offering intensive programming for adults who need structured care away from their daily environment. As a hospital program, residents receive integrated medical and behavioral health services throughout their stay, ensuring any medical complications or withdrawal symptoms are managed by qualified medical staff.
The center's approach centers on treating both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This dual diagnosis capability addresses the complex relationship between addiction and mental health issues, recognizing that lasting recovery often requires treatment of both conditions together within the same program.
Serving adults throughout Coconino County and Northern Arizona, Flagstaff Medical Center Behavioral Health Services offers families a local option for residential addiction treatment without traveling to Phoenix or other distant cities. The hospital setting provides medical stability while residents work on the behavioral changes necessary for long-term recovery and successful transition back to their communities.
Residential Treatment Program Structure
Flagstaff Medical Center Behavioral Health Services provides residential treatment for adults with substance use disorders within a hospital setting. This program structure allows residents to receive 24/7 medical supervision while participating in intensive addiction treatment programming. The residential format removes individuals from environments that may trigger substance use while providing the stability needed for early recovery work.
Located within the medical center at 1200 North Beaver Street, residents have access to full hospital services if medical complications arise during treatment. This integration of medical and behavioral health services distinguishes the program from standalone addiction treatment facilities that may need to transfer patients for medical issues.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Approach
The center specializes in treating adults who present with both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. This dual diagnosis approach recognizes that many individuals struggling with addiction also experience depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other mental health challenges that contribute to substance use patterns.
By addressing both conditions simultaneously within the same residential program, patients can understand the relationship between their mental health symptoms and substance use behaviors. This integrated treatment model aims to provide tools for managing both aspects of their health as they prepare for discharge and ongoing recovery support.
