La Frontera Center

What the SAMHSA Record Shows About La Frontera Center

La Frontera Center is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Tucson, Arizona. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 260 South Scott Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85701.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines (12-step facilitation, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Telehealth), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 6 clinical treatment approaches (12-step facilitation, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 2 specific population groups (Adults, Young adults) with 2 languages of care (Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing, Spanish). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, plus 7 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Federal military insurance (e.g., TRICARE), Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs, IHS/Tribal/Urban (ITU) funds, Medicaid, Medicare, Private health insurance, SAMHSA funding/block grants).

La Frontera Center reports 29 attributes across services, populations, payment, and language, in line with the Arizona statewide median of 34 (516 facilities listed).
