Phoenix Health Center

Phoenix Health Center's intensive outpatient program allows individuals to receive comprehensive addiction treatment while maintaining their work, family, and housing arrangements. This recovery center operates Monday through Friday from 4:45 AM to 1 PM, with Saturday morning hours, providing flexibility for various schedules and commitments.

The program integrates medication-assisted treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral counseling sessions. Participants can access same-day treatment entry and walk-in services, removing common delays in starting recovery. This outpatient approach supports individuals who need structured addiction treatment but can benefit from staying connected to their existing support systems and sober living environments.

The recovery center specifically addresses opioid use disorders, including dependencies on heroin, fentanyl, prescription opioids, kratom, and tianeptine. Their clinical team combines medication-assisted treatment with targeted behavioral interventions designed for opioid recovery challenges.

Phoenix Health Center also provides integrated care for co-occurring mental health conditions, recognizing the complex relationship between substance use disorders and mental health. This dual approach helps individuals address both addiction and underlying psychological factors that may impact long-term recovery success.

Under the guidance of Chief Medical Officer Benjamin Nordstrom, MD, PhD, and Chief Clinical Officer Kamala Greene Genece, PhD, Phoenix Health Center maintains Joint Commission accreditation standards. The leadership team brings extensive clinical and operational expertise to substance abuse treatment delivery.

Senior Vice President Marlin Martin (CHC, MSW, LCSW) oversees regulatory affairs, while Vice President Amanda Karistai (MBA, LCSW-BACS) manages operations. This experienced leadership structure ensures both clinical excellence and smooth access to addiction treatment services for the recovery community.

Phoenix Health Center accepts Medicare Parts A and B, Medicaid, and various managed care plans including Kaiser, MA Aetna, MA Humana, and MA United Healthcare/Optum. The facility also provides self-pay options and grant funding assistance for individuals without traditional insurance coverage.

This comprehensive payment approach removes financial barriers to accessing intensive outpatient treatment. The center's acceptance of multiple Medicaid programs and Medicare options particularly supports community members who might otherwise struggle to afford ongoing addiction treatment and recovery support services.
