Review and Recommendation: |
Thomas Wellness Center has been in operation since September 2021 at another location in Phoenix with expansion of service to Chandler. Thomas Wellness Center is an outpatient treatment center that offers group therapy as well as one-on-one therapy teaching daily life skills and addiction coping mechanisms with an emphasis on managing sobriety. All clients are picked up and driven home by staff using company vans. There are no walk-in customers. On-site parking is adequate for staff and company vans and no client drives to the business. For these reasons, traffic generated from the business is expected to be minimal. |
