How does one go about making an appointment? Is telehealth available?

 

Potential patient may call any of the phone numbers listed for each clinic and our behavioral health coordinators will start the process of assessment to start the program.

 

Telehealth is an option from another ARcare clinic once the patient and treatment team have agreed on the process.
