Set in the historic downtown part of Camp Verde, Polara Health Camp Verde Clinic treats kids, teens, and adults (including older adults) experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, or other behavioral health disorders. Volunteers assist the treatment team in making treatment accessible to all, including older adults and clients with autism. They take clients voluntarily and facilitate court-ordered treatment.
With levels of care ranging from routine visits to more intensive
outpatient (
IOP) support, the clinics emphasize whole-person care by blending evidence-based talk therapy and medical treatments in one accessible setting.
The clinics use proven approaches including individual and group counseling, peer support, psychiatric care, and case management. For addictions, they can administer medication-assisted treatment (
MAT) with Suboxone to reduce cravings and help clients engage with the therapy. For treatment-resistant conditions, they can also do deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). These therapies empower clients to manage symptoms, build coping skills, and improve overall quality of life.
To help clients get back on their feet, Polara Health's “Thrive” peer-led daytime program and vocational services promote re-entry into the workforce. This program trains clients on professional communication, interviewing skills, time management, resume and cover letter writing, and computer skills.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Polara Health Camp Verde Clinic provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
