===Laws & Social Stigmas===
In Arizona, you need a prescription to obtain most birth control. You don't need parental permission to get a birth control prescription. While you can go to many clinics, some people prefer to go to Title X clinics. These are clinics that are completely confidential, which means that your appointment and billing will be confidential. At Title X Clinics, teens and adults can receive sexual and reproductive health care. They charge on a sliding-scale basis. They may be able to give you a prescription to birth control pills, as well as condoms and sexual health counseling. If you pay for their services with family health insurance and you're a teenager, your parents may see that you visited the clinic in their bills. We provide a list of Title X clinics (as well as some low-cost clinics) below.

In some states, you also need parental permission to obtain birth control if you're under 18 years old. However, if you're a minor, you can go to a Title X Clinic.
