As temperatures rise across the Phoenix Valley, Purpose Healing Center expands low-barrier, Joint Commission-accredited treatment services to offer safe, vital care for unhoused clients facing addiction, mental health challenges, and extreme heat.
PHOENIX, AZ, June 03, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — As Phoenix faces intensifying summer heat, Purpose Healing Center is stepping up to provide critical, accessible care for the city’s most vulnerable residents. The Joint Commission-accredited facility is expanding its low-barrier addiction and mental health treatment programs, specifically designed to serve those experiencing homelessness throughout Maricopa County.
With temperatures expected to soar above 110°F this Summer, the risk of heat-related illness and overdose among unhoused populations is alarmingly high. Substance use, particularly methamphetamine, has been linked to a significant portion of heat-related deaths in Arizona, underscoring the urgent need for accessible treatment options.
Purpose Healing Center’s programs offer a safe, air-conditioned refuge and comprehensive care for those in need.
Services include medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient care. The center specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.
“We are committed to removing barriers to treatment,” said a representative from Purpose Healing Center. “Our goal is to provide immediate, compassionate care to those who need it most, especially during dangerous heatwaves this Summer.”
To further reduce obstacles to care, Purpose Healing Center offers transportation services for clients within Maricopa County, ensuring that those without reliable means can still access treatment.
The center accepts most private insurance plans and Medicaid (AHCCCS), and also provides options for individuals without insurance, reinforcing its commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
Purpose Healing Center’s facilities are designed to promote healing and comfort, featuring amenities such as an on-site pool and outdoor barbecue area. Clients receive nutritious meals and participate in various therapeutic activities, including individual and group therapy sessions, family counseling, meditation, and yoga.
For more information or to seek immediate assistance, those interested directly or seeking to refer clients in need can call Purpose Healing Center’s 24/7 helpline via phone call.
