Assessment and Intervention Center (AIC) - Tucson

Devereux Arizona’s Assessment and Intervention Center (AIC) is a licensed behavioral health facility that provides comprehensive evaluations and intensive behavioral healthcare interventions in a safe, supportive, and structured therapeutic environment.

AIC Services

Services are designed for youth with multiple treatment needs who may present with symptomology ranging across the spectrum of DSM-V diagnoses.

DSM-V diagnoses include:

• Mood disorder
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
• Oppositional defiant disorder
• Conduct disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder

We also provide a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, including medication assessment and monitoring. A Behavior Support Plan based on a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is implemented along with coaching and follow-ups with a master’s-level therapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Youth receive health and nutrition screenings by a registered nurse, as well as individual and family therapy. In addition, we provide aftercare recommendations to ensure a smooth transition from our AIC to the individual’s home, school or community.
