Common questions
Do I have to commit to sobriety before starting therapy?
No. Many clinicians work with people at every stage, including those who are still deciding what they want to change. Our guide on harm reduction describes this approach.
Can therapy be combined with medication for addiction?
Yes. Medications for some substance use disorders work well alongside therapy, and many clinicians coordinate with prescribers.
How does Tandem verify these addiction therapists?
Before anyone is listed, Tandem confirms an active Arizona license, documented training in their stated specialty, and the state licensing board record. Profiles are reviewed again when anything changes.
Do these clinicians offer telehealth across Arizona?
Most do. Each profile lists session formats, whether in person, telehealth, or both, along with office locations.
