About West Yavapai Guidance Clinic
Located adjacent to the Yavapai County Criminal Justice Center and the Superior Court, Polara Health’s 12-bed Connections Center serves adults dealing with substance use and mental health challenges. The program supports involuntary admissions, individuals arriving through emergency pathways, and first responders. It also helps coordinate court-ordered care, including treatment for people covered under Arizona Title 36 who present a risk to themselves or others. The center offers residential services in a setting designed around client safety. It focuses on whole-person treatment, combining evidence-based psychotherapy with medical care in a single, approachable location. Polara Health delivers established services such as individual and group counseling, peer support, psychiatric treatment, and case management. For opioid-related addictions, medication-assisted treatment is available, including Suboxone, to ease cravings and encourage participation in therapy. For conditions that do not respond to standard approaches, the center may provide deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Together, these interventions help clients reduce symptoms, strengthen coping abilities, and enhance overall quality of life. To support a return to stability, Polara Health offers “Thrive,” a peer-led daytime program, along with vocational services aimed at workforce reintegration. Participants receive training in workplace communication, interview preparation, time management, resume and cover letter development, and computer skills.
