About Maricopa SHIFT

We Are Here To Help

Maricopa SHIFT (Safe Healthy Infants and Families Thrive), is a coordinated, multi-system approach, working together to improve the outcomes for pregnant parents, their families, and affected newborns exposed to substances. Our team understands that parents and families need support and integrated services to help them and their baby have the best outcome possible.

We bring together programs and teams from a variety of disciplines including, prenatal care, medication-assisted treatment programs, Women, Infants and Children (WIC), child welfare, home visiting programs, and other medical providers such as hospitals and clinics.

Commitment

To enhance coordination of care for pregnant parents affected by substance use disorder, to help them get the assistance they need, because a healthy parent means a healthy baby. We strive to ensure that families experience excellent care through an integrated and collaborative environment, provided by professionals who understand the many challenges a family may face. We focus on a compassionate approach for families filled with understanding, patience, healing, and hope.
