About Potters House

Located in Phoenix, AZ, Potters House operates within the AZ regulatory framework as a licensed addiction-treatment provider. The facility's programming is outpatient (Outpatient), not residential. Structural evaluation of this facility's clinical posture requires review of state licensing records, accreditation status, and payer-network contracts.

Care levels at Potters House

Level-of-care documentation: Potters House is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential. Under MHPAEA 2024 medical-necessity criteria disclosure, plan-specific criteria for each of these levels must be available to patients upon request. Mismatch between documented clinical need and offered level of care is a common source of authorization denial.

Insurance and payment

Payment and insurance posture: Potters House accepts Medicaid — which is consequential because facilities that accept Medicaid tend to have the broadest patient populations and the most developed public-sector relationships, though reimbursement structures mean program intensity sometimes differs from commercial-focused centers. Pre-admission Verification of Benefits (VOB) documentation should include: specific plan product and network status, deductible status at time of admission, coinsurance rate applicable, prior authorization status and turnaround, and out-of-pocket accumulation. Under MHPAEA 2024 disclosure rules, plan-specific medical-necessity criteria must be available on request.

Before you call

Operational admission checklist for Potters House: (a) clinical assessment with documented ASAM 4e level-of-care recommendation; (b) insurance benefits verification in writing; (c) MAT policy documentation; (d) accreditation and licensure verification; (e) confirmed prior authorization for specific level of care. Each should be obtained in written form prior to admission. If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether Potters House offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. Programs that do not are operating outside the current standard of care.

Questions about this facility

Common questions about Potters House

Answered from public sources: SAMHSA listings, federal parity regulations, and our own admissions helpline intake notes.

Is Potters House listed in the SAMHSA Treatment Services Locator?

Potters House appears in our directory because it is sourced from the federal SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator. The SAMHSA listing is the federal reference for licensed substance-use programs in the United States — inclusion requires active state licensure. If you want to verify independently, you can search by name or ZIP at findtreatment.gov.

What insurance does Potters House accept?

Insurance network lists change frequently, so the definitive answer is always to call the facility directly or call our helpline — we verify benefits on the line, for free. In general, most SAMHSA-listed programs in AZ accept at least one commercial insurer plus Medicaid. Out-of-network coverage depends on your specific plan's behavioral-health benefits.

How do I know if this level of care is right for me?

The clinical answer comes from an ASAM assessment — a six-dimension evaluation of withdrawal risk, medical conditions, mental state, readiness to change, relapse potential, and living environment. A good intake conversation at Potters House (or any SAMHSA-listed program) will walk through those dimensions before recommending a level of care. If you would like help thinking through the fit first, take our 2-minute self-assessment.

Is calling confidential? Will my employer find out?

Substance-use treatment records are protected under 42 CFR Part 2 — a federal rule stricter than HIPAA. An employer cannot access your records without a court order or your written consent. Insurance claims will reflect that behavioral-health services were provided, but not the diagnosis or the content. Calls to our helpline and to Potters House directly are confidential.

What happens if I call the helpline instead of the facility?

Our helpline ((888) 333-RECOV) is answered 24/7 by licensed admissions counselors. They will ask about insurance, location preference, and clinical priorities, then match you against in-network verified programs. You can request Potters House specifically. There is no obligation to admit — the call is informational.
