About Empact Suicide Prevention Center – Apache Junction
Empact Suicide Prevention Center is a community behavioral health and crisis management facility that helps adults with substance use and co-occurring conditions. They’re LGBTIQ+ friendly. They provide specialized services for service personnel as well. They have multiple facilities serving residents of Maricopa and Pinal counties in Arizona. This location in Apache Junction, Arizona, is one of their outpatient clinics.
Apache Trail (US-60) links directly to I-10 and other parts of the Phoenix metro area. So you can easily access this facility from Mesa, Gilbert and other more rural communities in Pinal County. The location is close to the Superstition Mountains. This offers a peaceful backdrop that could help your recovery efforts. Nearby Lost Dutchman State Park and Usery Mountain Regional Park add to the natural appeal. These are great spots for recreational activities like hiking.
Their substance use services include standard outpatient programs (OP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). These programs focus on building healthy coping skills that encourage a sober lifestyle and relapse prevention.
A standout service available in this facility is suicide prevention. Severe substance use issues can cloud your judgment. It can be difficult to think things through or manage life challenges. This makes you more likely to act on suicidal thoughts. This is especially the case with young ones dealing with dually diagnosed mental issues like depression.
The facility tries to break the cycle of suicidal thoughts among youths through school-based prevention programs. They offer classroom prevention that uses proven methods to teach middle and high school kids about warning signs. Parents and school staff are trained to spot warning signs as well.
Their life skill development program can especially be helpful to at-risk youth. You’ll learn how to solve problems, set goals and develop strategies to cope with life challenges. They’ll teach you how to resist peer pressures and the temptation to use drugs as well.
They also help those who have lost loved ones to suicide through virtual and in-person support groups. Ongoing support is provided via conferences and group fitness events.
They even offer specialized trauma programming involving individuals and group therapy focused on reducing the daily impact of past traumatic experiences on your everyday life. Past trauma has an enduring behavioral impact including substance use disorders or more serious psychiatric issues like PTSD. This program helps you get back to living a fully functional and fulfilling life.
Their 24 hours crisis hotline can be helpful if you’re dealing with severe mental health and substance use crises. They can offer assessment and support and refer you to services within the community.
The great thing about this facility is that you’ll receive care regardless of your ability to pay. They have a sliding fee schedule that lets you pay based on your income.
