About La Frontera Arizona

La Frontera Arizona, operating as EMPACT-Suicide Prevention Center, is a community behavioral health organization with an office in Apache Junction, Arizona, among several locations across Maricopa and Pinal counties. They serve children, adults, and families with mental health, substance use, and crisis services, and the Apache Junction office is one of the sites offering adult outpatient care. For substance use, they provide Intensive Outpatient and Standard Outpatient groups, along with ongoing recovery support groups, alongside counseling, case management, and medication services. They serve everyone regardless of ability to pay, offer a sliding fee scale based on income and family size, and provide free interpretation and translation for people with limited English.

Adult care includes individual, couples, family, and group counseling, plus support for depression, anxiety, grief, and stress, which can matter for people whose substance use is tied to other struggles. Their Adult Trauma Program pairs trauma-educated clinicians with individual and group therapy, and they offer a full Dialectical Behavior Therapy program as well as EMDR. A 24-hour crisis hotline and mobile crisis team are available, and Crisis Transition Navigators help people connect with follow-up services after an emergency. Veterans, service members, and their families can turn to the Rally Point Arizona program for peer-based support and help coordinating resources.
