Safe House Wellness & Health is part of this local network, offering structured behavioral health programs and specialized services for adults in Maricopa County.

Types of Mental Health Services Available

Common mental health resources in the Tempe and Phoenix area include:

• Outpatient therapy: Weekly or bi-weekly individual counseling.

• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Multi-day, multi-hour treatment each week.

• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Full-day treatment several days per week.

• Psychiatric and medication services: Assessment and medication management.

• Support groups and peer support: Community-based groups for shared experiences.

Choosing among these options depends on your symptoms, support system, and safety needs.

When to Consider Higher Levels of Care

You may want to consider IOP or PHP if you:

• Recently were hospitalized or in crisis.

• Have difficulty completing daily tasks or maintaining relationships.

• Need structured, consistent support to stay safe and stable.

At Safe House Wellness & Health in Tempe, we offer IOP, PHP, OP, and IOP with residential support for adults who need more than standard outpatient care.
