Arizona Mental Health Treatment

In Arizona, a large portion of adults experience mental health challenges, with over 35% reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression in 2023, yet only half receive treatment due to limited access, cost, transportation, and stigma. This gap has contributed to high rates of self-medication with alcohol and drugs, including opioids and methamphetamine. Skycloud offers virtual outpatient programs to address these barriers, providing therapy, psychiatry, medication management, and specialized care for conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. Virtual care improves access, privacy, and scheduling flexibility, helping individuals receive effective, trauma-informed treatment from home or while traveling.

The Need for Arizona Mental Health Treatment

Throughout Arizona, a significant number of adults struggle with anxiety and depression. As of 2023, over 35 percent of adults reported these symptoms.

Of the 1 in 5 adults throughout the state who experience an annual mental health condition, only half of them receive the treatment that they need. Arizona is ranked very low in terms of its mental health care access. This is in large part due to a lack of qualified professionals, limits on cost and transportation, and stigma. 

As a result, many adults who have symptoms of a mental health disorder but lack access to qualified care will turn to self-medication with drugs or alcohol. Arizona has very high opioid overdose death rates compared to the national average, with 75 percent of employers reporting that it has a negative impact on their staff. 

Alcohol abuse is very common as another form of self-medication, but illicit drug use has been on the rise, including heroin and methamphetamines. Meth is one of the most significant drug threats throughout the state. 

If you are looking for mental health treatment in Arizona, Skycloud can help you find a virtual outpatient program suited to your needs. 

Starting Treatment

Our licensed therapists and psychiatrists in Arizona can help you start treatment online for mental health conditions like:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Bipolar Disorder
• PTSD
• Substance Abuse

Many of our therapies are designed to help clients process trauma and change their perspective on mental health challenges. It is not uncommon for people with substance use disorders or mental health disorders to struggle with underlying and unresolved trauma.

When left unresolved, trauma can lead to the development of secondary mental health conditions like PTSD, anxiety, or depression. It also increases the risk of substance abuse. Having a secondary mental health disorder similarly increases the risk of substance abuse in the form of self-medication.

We know how important it is to find a therapist with whom you are comfortable, complete your sessions in a setting where you can be relaxed, and get access to medication at a nearby pharmacy. 

If you or someone close to you is struggling with any combination of poor mental health or substance abuse, starting treatment is essential.

However, given the lack of available and qualified professionals throughout the state, many people are now turning toward virtual services. 

Why Choose Virtual Outpatient Programs

We appreciate how difficult it can be sometimes to make appointments, especially if you travel for work or have limited transportation. With so many other reasons why an in-person program might be inaccessible, our team has designed virtual alternatives that offer the same quality of care.

Transportation

For many people, finding transportation to and from therapy can be a challenge. Even if individuals have personal modes of transportation or publicly available modes of transportation, finding the extra time to travel to and from a psychiatrist’s office or a therapist’s office can be difficult.

With Skycloud, we make it easier to get the help you need for mental health with our virtual programs. These programs provide virtual psychiatry and therapy sessions where you can meet with your therapist through a video chat, over the phone, or make use of messaging.

If you are prescribed medication as part of your treatment plan, our psychiatrist will review your medication and have your prescriptions sent to you with our online medication management program. These can be sent to a nearby pharmacy that is convenient for you.

Specialized Care

Equally challenging for many people in Arizona is access to high-quality, specialized care. Not all therapists or psychiatrists have the same background or experience in certain types of mental health disorders. Similarly, not all treatment centers are equipped to handle things like co-occurring mental health disorders and substance abuse.

With Skycloud, we make it easier for clients throughout Arizona to get the specialized care they need for severe or moderate mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, or PTSD. 

We also provide virtual medication management services and online MAT programs for those struggling with substance abuse and a mental health disorder. These programs can give you access to FDA-approved medication like Suboxone as well as other prescriptions to help manage symptoms of a co-occurring mental health disorder.

Privacy

Another reason to consider our virtual Arizona therapy program is the privacy. Many people hesitate to start Arizona mental health treatment because they don’t want friends or family, coworkers, or employers to see them driving to and from appointments. In a small town or an area with limited access to mental health centers, even driving down a particular road might indicate that you are seeking help.

If you are worried about this stigma or you simply feel more comfortable at home, virtual outpatient psychiatry can provide an ideal solution.

All mental health treatment and Arizona therapy work better if you are comfortable. If you have a safe and quiet space at home, and you feel more comfortable there than in an office, you will be more likely to complete your program and walk away successful.

Scheduling

While transportation might be a hindrance for some, for others, the issue resides with scheduling issues. Many mental health treatment programs have limited availability for sessions, meaning many people have to find a way to leave work, school, or personal obligations in order to get the help they need during regular business hours.

Others find themselves on the road for work, making it impossible to maintain a regular weekly schedule of in-person services.

With Skycloud, we provide virtual Arizona mental health treatment that can be accessed no matter where you are, whether you are traveling for work, at home only in the evenings, or only on weekends.
