Horizon Recovery, Arizona’s leading provider of adolescent mental health and addiction recovery services, announced plans to open its seventh Arizona location on June 1. The new 5,000 square-foot outpatient center, located at Union Hills Drive and Interstate 17 in North Phoenix, will further expand access to vital mental health services for teenagers and their families across the Valley.
The strategic expansion comes in response to escalating mental health challenges facing Arizona’s youth and will offer a full spectrum of outpatient services including Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and traditional outpatient care.
“Every week, we receive calls from families desperately seeking help for their teens who are struggling with mental health challenges,” said Patrick Buehl, co-founder and executive director of Horizon Recovery. “This new North Phoenix location allows us to meet families where they are, removing barriers to accessing quality care and ensuring more adolescents receive the support they need before reaching crisis points.”
The newest Horizon Recovery facility will create at least 10 additional healthcare jobs for the region. The location was specifically chosen to serve families in North Phoenix, Cave Creek, Anthem, and surrounding areas who previously had to travel further for specialized adolescent mental health services. In addition to its normal suite of services, Horizon plans to launch its first-ever summer camp program offering behavioral health support and safe activities and events for adolescents and teens.
“What makes our approach unique is that we’ve developed programs specifically for adolescents—not adapted adult programs,” explained Brian Carlisle, FNP-C, co-founder of Horizon Recovery. “Our North Phoenix center will feature the same comprehensive therapeutic model that integrates evidence-based clinical therapies with innovative approaches that resonate with teens, including technology-assisted therapies, creative arts interventions, and family-focused treatment.”
The North Phoenix location will begin accepting patient appointments in late May with services commencing June 1.
