Cholla Behavioral Health
OUR STORY

We Are Here For You

We looked at the current system, challenged ourselves to do better, and built Cholla to bring behavioral health into the modern age, with equitable access to the care a real recovery requires.

Built to do better, from the ground up.

Cholla's founders know the weight of mental health struggles and co-occurring challenges firsthand, through their own lives or the lives of people they love. Inspired by what healing made possible, they built Cholla to give everyone equitable access to the care a real recovery requires.

We treat mental health first, with co-occurring substance use addressed inside that same integrated plan, because lasting recovery means treating the whole person, not just one piece of the picture.

OUR REASON FOR BEING

Mission

Together with our patients, we're driven to make behavioral health better, raising outcomes and lowering the overall cost of care. We use data and technology to bring objectivity to a field that's often subjective, and to help define what behavioral health can become.
