Chiricahua Community Health Centers, Inc.

Cochise County is designated as both a Health Professional Shortage Area for medical and behavioral health services. Chiricahua is the only FQHC in the county. Cochise County has witnessed an increase in deaths from drug and alcohol misuse. Currently there is only one facility in Cochise County, other than Chiricahua, that offers outpatient MAT. We are establishing a new MAT access point, in Benson, adjacent to our Benson clinic. Currently, this area, has no established MAT patients. The second area of focus is Douglas, AZ, where we will establish an additional access point- a mobile clinic. In addition, we have established a partnership with Cochise County Health & Social Services (MAT for detention services) and Benson Hospital (patient in emergency dept needing MAT services).
