La Frontera Center

About La Frontera Center

La Frontera Center is a community behavioral health organization in Tucson, Arizona, offering substance use and mental health care through a network of outpatient clinics and residential programs across the city. For addiction, they provide an intensive outpatient program, substance use groups, and medication-assisted treatment with methadone or Suboxone. Their Hope Center is dedicated to MAT and opens for early-morning dosing on weekdays and Saturdays. Adults who need a higher level of care can enter residential treatment at Casa de Vida, which focuses on substance use, or at Milagro, which treats co-occurring mental health and substance use needs.

Care typically begins with an assessment and a service plan built around the person’s own goals, followed by individual, group, and family counseling. Moral Reconation Therapy, DUI groups, domestic violence groups, and wellness and recovery groups add structured options for people with specific needs or court involvement. Because psychiatric medication services, psychological testing, primary care physicians, on-site lab testing, and a pharmacy are available within the same organization, physical and mental health care can be coordinated alongside recovery. They also offer case management, peer and family support, employment help, housing support, transportation, homeless outreach, and dedicated services for veterans, adolescents, and young children and their families.
