There are Many Psychiatric Resources Available in Arizona.

Below you will find some of the more important resources for you to review. Arizona has several in-patient treatment facilities equipped to deal with acute crises that enable the individual to get stabilized so they may begin a successful out-patient treatment program. Family support is crucial in recovery, below you will find many resources that can inform you of care groups in your area.

I have included the AZ Medical Board the AZ Board of Behavioral Health and the AZ Board of Psychologist Examiners if you would like an accurate profile of the credentials or complaints against any medical doctor, psychologist, social worker, counselor, or therapist. Unfortunately in this Internet age, anyone can post a false comment with malicious intent to destroy the reputation of an individual. Competitors, trouble-makers, disgruntled past employees, or past clients with an unjust grievance can go on the many search engines such as Google or Yahoo and write just about anything. I have heard too many stories of businesses and practices being destroyed by malicious false comments on the Internet. In fact – scrubbing these false claims is one of the fastest growing cottage industries. These first three websites will show you if there are any valid claims or complaints against any health care provider as well as their credentials. The other sites are great resources for knowledge, support, and help.
