About Arizona Behavioral Csl and Educ Inc

Arizona Behavioral Counseling and Education, Inc. (ABC) is a Phoenix-area outpatient agency that has served Arizonans for more than 35 years, with a focus on people facing DUI charges, substance-related citations, or other court and MVD requirements. The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses them as a Behavioral Health Service Agency, DUI Service Agency, and Domestic Violence Treatment Agency. Their services include substance use education and counseling, domestic violence offender treatment, and anger management. Much of their care is delivered through telehealth, Spanish-language services are available, and they keep their fees low so mandated programs stay within reach.

Care begins with a screening that looks at substance use, DUI history, anger, domestic violence, depression, suicide risk, and trauma, and the results are used to match each client to a program length set by state guidelines. People without signs of a substance use disorder may complete a short education course, such as an 8-hour class, a 16-hour Level II DUI course, or an 18-hour program for a single non-DUI citation. Those who do show symptoms attend Level I counseling in 2-hour group sessions, with tracks running 36, 54, 72, or 90 hours depending on severity and citation history, built around cognitive behavioral group work and the Matrix Early Recovery Skills Program for relapse prevention. Their domestic violence and anger management groups also use cognitive behavioral methods and address substance use, and they conduct the substance abuse evaluations required for MVD license reinstatement after a revocation.
