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 (residential, 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. No street address is listed in the SAMHSA record; the facility's location on file is Tucson, AZ 85742.
