Where Arizona Comes Together to Intercept the Crisis
Arizona’s Summit uniting law enforcement, clinicians, justice, hospitals, treatment providers, leaders and communities to build a bridge from crisis to recovery.
Why This Summit Matters
Arizona is at a crossroads… Addiction, crime, and untreated mental health crises are straining every system — hospitals, courts, Law enforcement and communities. The systems that should work together are operating in silos. AZ Intercept exists to change that
