Adult Inpatient and Outpatient Services
Polara Health provides comprehensive care for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. Additionally, we offer both inpatient and outpatient programs tailored to adults living with severe mental health challenges like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and clinical depression.
Our Psychiatric Services
We offer coordinated care between primary and psychiatric health providers to intervene early in chronic conditions and improve patients’ quality of life.
Psychiatric Evaluations
Your BHMP (Behavioral Health Medical Provider) will meet with you to review life challenges you are facing, your physical health history and your mental health history.
The provider will work with you to establish mental health goals and determine the best medication therapy to assist you in meeting your mental wellness goals.
Diagnosis
Your provider will get to know you and determine the best explanation for the challenges/symptoms you are struggling to overcome.
The best diagnosis will help to guide the best treatment plan to meet your wellness goals.
Tele-Med Settings
There is a shortage of behavioral health medical providers (BHMP’s) in the United States, especially in rural areas like Northern Arizona.
We have providers who use video devices to connect to our clients (a phone conversation with video added). You no longer have to wait long to connect to a provider, thanks to Tele-Med providers that have made themselves available to clients in rural Northern Arizona!
Inpatient Treatment Services
When life challenges leave your coping capacity drained, inpatient providers can work with you daily, with the support of a team of providers (nurses, social workers, counselors) to help you regain your coping capacity.
This daily support can be beneficial when you have lost your way and need daily care.
Outpatient Treatment Services
We offer a team approach to health and wellness; medical providers, therapists/counselors, case managers, and peer support team members work together to support your mental health and well-being.
Together we address the physical (mind/body health), psychological (coping skills), and social (basic needs/relationship needs) aspects of health/wellness. This is the biopsychosocial approach to wellness shared by all of our team members.
Our Approach
Interventions are offered in a client-centered environment that emphasizes ownership and personal empowerment. We work with you to define goals for recovery and growth that are meaningful to you.
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS)
Deep TMS is an FDA-approved treatment for drug-resistant clients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Individual Therapy
Individual works one-on-one with a trained therapist in a confidential setting. Some use the term counseling and individual therapy interchangeably. Through this process, clients explore aspects of their lives they want to change, set goals, and work toward this change.
Peer Support Services
Peer Support Services are different from other support services in that they are provided by a “Peer,” a person currently receiving or receiving mental health and/or substance use services.
Support can include the facilitation of groups, independent skills training, helping a person navigate the behavioral health system, assisting an individual in learning to self-advocate, and support and encouragement to step back into community life.
Group Therapy
Individuals who attend these groups find safe and comfortable places to work out problems and emotional issues.
The support and insights of the group members can enhance the personal insights that the individual gains. Social interactions in group therapy can be another benefit, particularly for those struggling with interpersonal relationships.
Other supportive methods include:
Case Management
Educational Groups
Psychiatry & Medication Management
Court Ordered Treatment
Suboxone Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray

Haddon House
Haddon House is a transitional, supervised housing unit for up to 8 persons diagnosed with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). Length of stay varies, based on need, but it is not long-term. Instead, it focuses on building independent living skills, developing tools, and instilling confidence regarding their future independent living setting.
