Our goal is to have all career and educational resources readily available to clients to ensure they achieve maximum productivity during the time they spend in our program. Ultimately, we want to empower our clients to believe that they are capable of success in the career world.

This facility deserves a special recognition. They have been around for years but the services they provide and the recovery that comes out of their facility, only seem to grow over the years. I have worked with Stephen from the admissions department and he has always gone above and beyond to make sure clients feel comfortable and get the care they need. I definitely recommend Decision Point Center!!!!- Ashley B.

We Understand You May Have Questions
Let Us Provide You With Answer
-
Can I Afford Treatment?Thanks to insurance plans and financing options, more people than ever before are able to receive the treatment they need. When you call our Admissions Team, they will leave no stone unturned in finding ways for you to obtain treatment including setting up a payment plan that meets your needs. You can even verify your insurance coverage here.
-
Is the Treatment Facility Licensed and Accredited?Decision Point is licensed as a Behavioral Health Residential Facility by the Arizona Department of Health Services. We are also accredited by The Joint Commission. These standards are measured to be the target for quality and safety in behavioral health care. We are also a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers.
-
How Long Will I Be In Treatment?Because substance use is a chronic disease, completion of our program is based on your unique needs and progress, and not on a date. While our Residential Program is a good guidepost, treatment over a longer period may be prescribed if it’s warranted.
-
What Is Failure To Launch And How Do You Treat It?Failure to launch refers to a young person who is unable to leave the protection of the parental home to begin living independently. Whether young people succumb to substance misuse and lose the ability to focus and work effectively, or if they are self-medicating to overcome underlying mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, failure to launch is often the result of substance abuse. Decision Point assists with identity achievement, mental health disorders, functional relationship building, educational and career counseling services, and the trauma often found in young people suffering from failure to launch.
