If you’re an adult struggling with mental health issues, Southwest Network can help. Our team of psychiatric doctors, nurses, and other direct care staff help thousands of adults find hope, independence, and recovery. For over two decades, we’ve worked hard to earn our reputation as one of the most trusted mental and behavioral health providers in Greater Phoenix.

Southwest Network provides services and treatment for adults with a serious mental illness as well as those needing support with general mental health/substance use. We offer assistance across the entire recovery journey, working with individuals who are experiencing acute symptoms through those simply seeking occasional counseling, medication management, or health maintenance.

Whatever support you need, it all happens here at Southwest Network.

For Adults with a Serious Mental Illness (SMI):

People of all walks of life can be affected by a serious mental illness. No matter your situation, we’ll work with you on your unique conditions, diagnoses, and symptoms and create an Individual Service Plan (ISP) to help you achieve your goals. We’ll listen to your needs, help you set purposeful milestones, and connect you with community supports to keep you inspired. More important, we’ll help you build your strengths, confidence, and resilience so you can tackle life’s challenges on your own.

At each of our four licensed adult outpatient clinics, you’ll have help from a team of dedicated and experienced professionals, including:

  • A case manager to help you manage your treatment and services

  • Doctors who will work with you on your mental health

  • Nurses and nurse practitioners who will help you with therapy and medication, as well as primary care needs

  • Rehabilitation specialists who can connect you with housing, employment, and other community supports

  • Peer mentors who know what it’s like to live with mental illness

  • Clinical coordinators and site leaders who lend their vast clinical expertise to collaborate with you and your team and address any special issues

You’ll also be supported by compassionate office assistants, benefits specialists, and others to ease the burden of scheduling, insurance claims, and transportation coordination. If you need language or interpretation assistance, just let us know. We provide translation support in many languages, including Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese.

onsite pharmacy

Through our partnership with Genoa Healthcare, each adult clinic is equipped with a full-service onsite pharmacy. This provides our members with significant convenience in getting medication and better continuity of care.

Having this added resource for our members helps ensure against drug interactions, allergies, and contraindication. Our members can easily order and pick up any medicines they need at the same time they are at Southwest Network for their appointments. This is especially helpful for individuals who rely on public transportation or family assistance for travels. By simplifying this process, individuals are more likely to adhere to their medical regimen ─ which is key to lifelong recovery.

Most important, our pharmacists care about your well-being. Please feel free to discuss any questions, issues, or special needs with the onsite Genoa Healthcare team and they will try to accommodate you. Our pharmacies can also manage orders, medication packs, and other special requests.

For assistance: For general information or for assistance, contact our Administrative office via phone at 602.266.8402 or email info@southwestnetwork.org. If you are already enrolled with Southwest Network, please contact the location where you are receiving services.

We accept insurance coverage through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS/Medicaid), all AHCCCS Complete Care plans, Medicare, and private insurance. We also provide a cash-pay option if you don’t carry health insurance. If you have no insurance and are unable to pay, we will work with you to ensure you obtain care.
