Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Mentally Ill Kids in Distress?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Phoenix are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Phoenix, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Can I choose my own program for a court order?
It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
