Accreditation
Accredited by The Joint Commission
Mana Health and Wellness holds Behavioral Health Care and Human Services accreditation from The Joint Commission — the independent body that accredits most hospitals and health care organizations in the United States. At least every three years, its reviewers examine how we actually operate against hundreds of national standards for safety and quality.
Care and services
Our policies and practices around the care, treatment and services we provide are examined in detail.
Who we hire
Hiring policies are part of the review — not only the clinical work, but how we staff it.
Leadership and facilities
Leadership, emergency planning and the building itself are all part of what gets reviewed.
Every three years
Accreditation is not a one-time award. It is re-earned on a recurring cycle, so the standard has to hold.

What we offer
Nine services, arranged around one person.
Clinical care sits alongside the practical support that makes attending it possible — a ride, a caseworker, a job lead. Your clinician and your case manager work from the same plan.
Clinical care
Intensive Outpatient Program Several structured sessions a week while you keep living at home. Group Therapy Part of IOP — facilitated groups shaped by Lokahi. One-on-One Therapy Regular individual sessions with the same clinician. Medication Management Prescribing, review and follow-up, coordinated with your therapy.Practical & recovery support
Case Management One person who keeps track of benefits, appointments and paperwork. Peer Support Time with someone who has been through recovery themselves. Employment Services Job search, resumes and getting hired, through case management. Transportation Help arranging a way to get to appointments.Vocational and educational material lives under Resources.
How our groups are built
Lokahi: looking beyond the substance.
Unity. Balance. Healing. Together as One.
Lokahi is Mana’s culturally rooted approach to care, woven through group therapy and the Intensive Outpatient Program rather than sold beside them. It revolves around a 90-day curriculum and it shapes how every group is run — looking at the experiences, patterns, and mental-health concerns underneath substance use rather than treating the substance as the whole problem. There is nothing separate to sign up for: everyone in IOP takes part.
How we think about care
Care for more than one part of life.
These are four things we pay attention to, not four stages you pass through. Where someone starts and what they need most is different every time.
Safety & stability
Support for building a steadier foundation and addressing immediate practical needs.
Understanding
Space to examine the experiences, patterns, and mental-health concerns connected to substance use.
Connection
Opportunities to strengthen healthy relationships, peer support, and a sense of belonging.
Growth
Practical resources and ongoing care that may support greater independence and purpose.
Supportive housing
Somewhere steady to come back to.
Mana works with community housing partners to help clients access supportive housing. Our partners are separate organizations, and they make their own placement decisions — but we can typically help a client find an available option, for both men and women.
Treatment is very hard to sustain without somewhere stable to sleep. Where someone lives shapes whether they can keep appointments, hold a job, and stay out of the situations that made things hard in the first place — so housing is a normal thing to raise when you call.
Mana does not own or operate housing. Our partners are separate organizations that set their own eligibility, rules and staffing, and they make their own placement decisions.
What we can tell you
Length of stay is individualized, and options change. Call (480) 626-9501 and we will tell you what is actually available rather than a general answer.
Why Mana exists
A Native Hawaiian family, and the reason we started again in Arizona.
Our family ran a behavioral-health agency on Oahu beginning in 2001, working mostly with people who had been separated from their families by serious mental illness and helping them move from institutional settings back into ordinary life.
We came to Arizona slowly, following a family member who had studied here. In May 2022 we lost Jonny, twenty-six, to drug intoxication. He had found sobriety, work, and a place he belonged — but he declined the therapy that might have taken him to the reasons underneath. That is the gap Mana was built to close, and it is why our group curriculum begins with why.

Mana Health and Wellness
The people behind Mana
A licensed clinician, therapists, behavioral health technicians, certified peer support specialists, an intake coordinator, case managers and business development — one team, one plan. We do not publish staff names or photographs; you will meet the people you work with in person.
No. You can call us directly to ask a question or find out whether what we offer is a fit. A referral from a provider or a case manager is welcome, but it is not required.
Weekly therapy is normally one session a week with one clinician. The Intensive Outpatient Program is a structured schedule inside Mana’s class day — Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM — at a minimum of 15 hours a week, combining group and individual work while you continue living at home.
No. Lokahi has no enrollment of its own — it is how Mana’s groups are structured, built around a 90-day curriculum. Everyone in the Intensive Outpatient Program experiences it, and it is not offered separately to people who are not in IOP.
No. Mana works with community housing partners — separate organizations that set their own eligibility, rules and staffing, and make their own placement decisions. Mana refers; we do not own or operate housing. Call us and we will tell you what is available.
We accept AHCCCS, including the American Indian Health Program (AIHP) and Banner University Family Care. We also accept commercial plans from Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Curative and Cigna. Private pay is accepted and a sliding scale is available. Contact us to confirm your specific plan is covered. Insurance and payment →
