ABOUT COMMUNITY BRIDGES, INC. – MESA
Founded in 1982, Community Bridges, Inc. operates 29 medically-integrated behavioral health facilities throughout Arizona. Committed to providing addiction treatment regardless of a person’s ability to pay, the non-profit organization offers a full continuum of treatment services for adults struggling with chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health disorders. The Mesa facility, 20 miles east of Phoenix, provides comprehensive outpatient treatment services, including medication-assisted outpatient-based detoxification.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients undergo an initial substance abuse and psychiatric evaluation to assist clinicians in forming an individualized treatment plan. If necessary, clients may receive medication-assisted treatment (Suboxone) to alleviate withdrawal symptoms during ambulatory detoxification. Medication management may continue during the outpatient program to minimize cravings.
Community Bridges, Inc.’s treatment program emphasizes peer-assisted sessions and utilizes evidence-based methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to address destructive thinking and behavior patterns. Licensed counselors and peer support specialists facilitate regular group and individual therapy sessions. Family therapy is also encouraged when applicable.
Clients with co-occurring disorders receive ongoing medication management and psychiatric evaluations. The Mesa facility may also offer disorder-specific counseling sessions and educational classes for clients with co-occurring mental health concerns.
After completing the program, case managers and peer specialists help clients with aftercare planning, including referrals to community-based programs and transitional housing.
