Arizona State Funded Rehab Centers (150)

Arizona State-Funded Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers

As Arizona and the rest of the country become more and more embattled with substance use disorder, the impact on public health, families, communities and collective quality of life is impossible to ignore. To that end, legislators, law enforcement, clinicians and all other relevant stakeholders are finding ways to make treatment more affordable and accessible to patients who truly need it but can’t afford it. One of the primary mechanisms that has emerged as a result of these efforts is the advent of state alcohol and drug rehabs. These centers are funded by state Medicaid dollars or other budgetary allocations to help patients without means, get help.

The Need for State-Funded Rehab Centers in Arizona

Data from Talk Poverty indicates that nearly 15 percent of Arizona’s population is living in poverty, placing it 37th in the country. At the same time, the Arizona Department of Health Services reports that 22 percent of the state’s population is currently vulnerable to substance use disorder. Arizona residents who occupy both of these populations need quality, proactive and immediate assistance to help them find their way to treatment and recovery. State-funded rehabs have started fulfilling these needs by providing vital services like counseling, detox and medication-assisted treatment with drugs like buprenorphine, naltrexone and methadone, and more to help patients recover and thrive.
