About Intermountain Health Centers Inc

Intermountain Health Center Inc in Nogales, Arizona, is an affiliate of Intermountain Centers, a nonprofit health system that has served Arizona communities since 1973 with primary care, behavioral health, and substance use services. Their approach is built on behavioral science, including Applied Behavior Analysis and trauma-informed therapies. Individualized planning centers on assessing skills, setting goals, and building toward self-sufficiency. For substance use, they offer outpatient medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction, outpatient services for adolescents, and a 60-day residential program for teens in Tucson. They serve patients regardless of ability to pay, with discounts for essential services based on family size and income.

Their MAT clinics help members work through withdrawal and relapse and set harm-reduction goals, with counseling, recovery education, and connections to community services. Adolescent care follows the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), which treats substance use as a learned behavior and aims to make a sober life more rewarding through social, recreational, family, and vocational activities. Teens in residential care, ages 12 to 17 who meet clinical criteria, take part in individual and family therapy, therapy groups, and “sobriety sampling” activities. They also work on coping with cravings, managing emotions, communication, and relapse prevention, with community-based planning to support the move into aftercare. Across their network, integrated clinics combine primary care, psychiatry, counseling, peer support, and pharmacy services.
