What Community Awareness Resource Entity of Arizona does
Mission
The Community Awareness Resource Entity of Arizona (CareAz) is a community-based organization dedicated to reducing the harmful effects of substance use disorder through comprehensive prevention, treatment, recovery, and reentry support. CareAz recognizes that substance use disorder is deeply interconnected with justice involvement, trauma, and systemic barriers, and works to address these challenges through compassionate, coordinated, and community-driven solutions. Through prevention, CareAz provides education, early intervention, and community outreach initiatives that raise awareness of substance use risks, reduce stigma, and promote healthy decision-making. These efforts focus on strengthening protective factors, supporting families, and empowering individuals with the tools needed to prevent substance misuse before it begins. In its treatment efforts, CareAz connects individuals to evidence-based, culturally responsive services that support stabilization and healing. By collabora

Programs
Prevention-The CareAz Prevention Program is guided by the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The program is designed to prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance misuse and its related consequences while strengthening long-term prevention capacity and infrastructure at the community level. CareAz takes a data-driven, culturally responsive, and collaborative approach to prevention, with a strong focus on youth, families, and underserved communities throughout Apache County. In tribal communities of Apache County, CareAz has successfully engaged community stakeholders to establish the Youth Running Strong Task Force, a multi-sector coalition dedicated to addressing youth substance use. The Task Force includes representatives from education, law enforcement, healthcare, government agencies, parents, students, faith-based organizations, and the business community. Through this collaborative structure, CareAz fosters shared responsibility, community ownership, and coordinated prevention efforts. CareAz is currently working alongside the Task Force to develop and implement…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $81k to $137k (+68%).

54% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
