Why Choose SOBA
Why Tempe Residents Choose Outpatient Care With Us
Once someone's stable, a single weekly or biweekly session works around an ASU class schedule or a full-time job without blocking out evenings the way IOP does. For students, that means no conversation with the registrar about withdrawing from a semester. For young professionals off Mill Ave who've finished IOP or residential, it's the maintenance layer that keeps earlier gains from slipping once daily life goes back to normal.
Clinical Note
Outpatient is what makes continuing care last: enough support to hold recovery in place without turning into another daily obligation. It typically follows a higher level of care rather than starting there.

The Program
What Outpatient Looks Like
Standard outpatient is the flexible step-down, usually one to a few visits a week, for continuing therapy after a higher level of care. The team that ran your detox, residential, or PHP keeps running it, so there's no new provider to bring up to speed.
Physician-Led Clinical Care
Reyes Topete, MD, our medical director, oversees every level of care at SOBA. One family-owned clinical team has run the whole continuum since 2007, detox through aftercare, with no handoffs between separate providers.
The Distance Is the Point
The drive to Mesa isn't a detour from recovery; it's part of it. Real distance from the people, places, and routines tied to active use in Tempe is often what makes the early weeks hold, which is why our campus sits somewhere calm and private, with admissions open 24/7.
Getting Here
Getting to Outpatient from Tempe
Sessions happen 25–30 minutes down US-60 in Mesa, away from the Mill Ave block where much of a Tempe client's week already plays out, and they can be scheduled around a class block or a work shift. Admissions runs 24/7 before the first session, and we're in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield with most major PPOs billed out of network. Between appointments, AA's Tempe Group meets at Arizona Community Church and the ASU Newman Center, which is where a lot of clients keep a home group. If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
