by Meghan Ross, MA, Quality Management Coordinator, Pronghorn Psychiatry and Stoneridge Center

Recently, there have been several high-profile incidents that have pushed the topic of mental health into the national spotlight. The suicide deaths of fashion designer Kate Spade and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain and the overdose death of rapper Mac Miller have shown the world that no one is immune. In fact, take a look around. Odds are that if you are not personally impacted, someone close to you is.

As the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction diminishes, the need for effective solutions becomes more apparent. In Yavapai County, the numbers are alarming. The 2017 Community Health Assessment (CHA) identified that Yavapai County has a suicide rate more than double the national average, has the third highest drug-induced death rate in the state, and approximately 20 percent of individuals surveyed identified that they did not seek care because of their inability to pay. While this may seem daunting, there is hope.

Pronghorn Psychiatry was founded in 2014 by Dr. Mark Collins, DO. It is his mission to bring cutting-edge, affordable mental health treatment to those who need it most. Since its inception, Pronghorn Psychiatry has expanded to include both an inpatient psychiatric unit and an outpatient treatment program, better known as Stoneridge Center.

By providing a full-continuum of care, Pronghorn Psychiatry is able to offer a seamless transition from the most acute psychiatric patients to those desiring flexible programming to maintain work/life obligations. By offering diverse, individualized care for substance abuse and/or mental illness, Pronghorn is proud to be an industry leader in the fight against these fast-rising epidemics.

Quality care shouldn’t be a financial burden. Pronghorn Psychiatry is proud to be an in-network AHCCCS provider with Care1st Health Plan Arizona. In addition, Pronghorn is an in-network facility that accepts multiple commercial insurances and offers affordable cash-pay options for those who may be uninsured. Pronghorn Psychiatry is committed to providing quality, affordable care that meets the needs of the community’s diverse population.

Call us any time, day or night, to discuss your or your loved one’s treatment needs at 928-583-7799 or visit our website at stoneridgecenters.com for more info.
