Outpatient Clinic Closer to Opening


Tuesday TLC outpatient clinic moved a step closer to accepting clients when we signed an agreement with a doctor who will serve as physician of record.

This agreement is a preliminary step in a process that will allow the clinic to bill insurance companies. In as little as thirty days the clinic could be providing services to insured clients.

While some of the counseling will be provided by in-house counselors, many services will be performed by contract employees. Preliminary plans include offering nutritional and fitness education.

It's been a long process that started a few years with the idea of expanding TLC’s services to include professional counseling. The only holdup has been trying to find a way to pay for those services.

It's another step in a journey that started over 20 years ago when TLC opened its first five-bed halfway house in Mesa, AZ.
 

The TLC website will soon be updated to include information about the Outpatient Clinic and the services offered.
