La Frontera Center

About La Frontera Center

La Frontera Center is a Tucson, Arizona behavioral health organization 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, DUI groups, and medication-assisted treatment with methadone or Suboxone through their Hope Center, which has early-morning dispensing hours 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 serves people with co-occurring mental health and substance use needs. Residential admission begins with an intake that reviews insurance and readiness.

Counseling is available in individual, group, and family formats, and they also offer Moral Reconation Therapy, a structured cognitive-behavioral approach. Because they bring psychiatric medication services, psychological testing, psychiatric hospitalization, primary care physicians, on-site lab testing, and pharmacy services under one organization, people with complex needs can receive coordinated medical and mental health care alongside addiction treatment. Recovery support extends to case management, peer and family support, wellness groups, employment and housing assistance, and transportation. They also run dedicated programs for veterans, people experiencing homelessness, adolescents and teens, and young children and their families, with some outpatient groups offered in the evenings.
