All incoming clients will receive a drug test and a psychiatric evaluation. If there are drugs in your system, you can detox at this facility. You will be assigned a case manager when you come in who will follow you every step of the way.
They have a medically trained staff that will monitor you constantly throughout your withdrawal. They have extensive training in each type of addictive drug. They will be able to provide you with medically assisted treatment if your discomfort from detox is too great.
Impatient services are gender specific here. People in recovery often feel safer and more comfortable in a single-sex environment. They work with many justice system organizations. Many of the clients are there because of drug related convictions.
You will receive both group and individual therapy. The individual sessions you have will be custom to your needs based on your intake information.
Drug rehab always relies heavily on peer support. You will have multiple group therapy sessions per day. Before you leave treatment, you will be referred to local 12-step meetings where you can find a sponsor.
Most psychotherapists who treat substance use disorder will use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in private sessions with clients. This is a type of therapy that teaches you to think differently in order to stop destructive behaviors. They may also use motivational interviewing In which a therapist will ask you questions designed to help you find your own motivation to stop taking substances.
Latest Reviews
I was petitioned here by the Scottsdale Police Department after being hospitalized due to an anxiety attack while under the influence of alcohol. I originally had denied going to the facility but then gave permission to my doctors and agreed to go. However, since I was originally petitioned, I was handcuffed and transported by a police vehicle. once arriving at the facility, I was instructed to put on paper thin "clothes" and handed a sheet as a blanket. The restrooms had metal toilets, wet toilet paper, and no soap. The "facility" is a windowless room that is shared with 50+ others, that has hard reclining chairs as "beds". This place was the most inhumane and disgusting place I have ever witnessed. I was lucky that the staff was kind to me as I was sober upon arrival and well behaved during my stay. However, during the 24 hours I spent at Community Bridges I felt unsafe, as I was in a room surrounded by individuals withdrawing from hard substances and individuals dealing with severe mental illnesses. I understand that that is the main purpose of the facility but, first of all I believe that I was wrongly placed here and second of all I saw how mistreated the individuals who truly needed medical attention were. There were patients who were screaming and crying to be seen by a doctor for being in such pain, who were then chained down and sedated. The whole environment here is disturbing, I got zero sleep as people were screaming, banging on walls, and threatening one another during my whole stay (which is far shorter than any stay I have seen in the reviews, let alone witnessed). I am so thankful that the provider saw that I didn't need to be there and gave me an overnight visit, because if I had been put on a 72-hour hold (typical for petitions), Saturday and Sunday don't even count towards those 72 hours. If I had stayed for any longer, I believe I would've started to go crazy too, as you have no mental enrichment other than a communal deck of uno and some word searches, let alone the fact that the room is bright and full of people screaming at all times, with uncomfortable and dirty sleeping amenities. If you are homeless or in need of an immediate detox, Community Bridges may be the best option for you, however if that is not the case, please do not send your loved ones here and please find them proper care for their needs.
I was discriminated against. I extremely disliked this place.
I just wanted to rewrite my review after some years of thought and consideration over the years. This place is definition of hell on earth. I was here for 4 days in the summer of 2021 after suffering my worst mental health crisis ever after having a traumatic childhood and was sent hear involuntarily. The whole time I was here, there were always bunch of fights physically and lots of screaming or acting out all day and night in a big windowless room full of dirty and uncomfortable recliner chairs with 50 people. For my entire 4 days here, I was so scared and terrified for my life that I barely ate or slept while being here and was in full of fear the entire time. You only get to talk to loved ones 10-20 minutes per day if you re lucky and there were no activities or anything while you sit in the big room, you just sit there and do nothing all day with a small soundless outdated TV while being forced to witness the violence around you all day and night. Not to mention, the place one of the dirtiest places I ve been. When I was sent here, they didn t even notify my loved ones where I was which is awful on their part. It took me to call my loved ones through that phone to notify them before they reported me missing. After my 72 hour hold was up, the staff was very manipulative and deceitful and tried to manipulate me to stay here when I wanted to be out. They badmouthed my demeanor when I was here to get me to stay longer when I was clearly going through a trauma shock by how scary this place was. Thankfully, their manipulation didn t work as I was released after 4 days here with the help of loved ones. But this experience has left an impact on me. I m still traumatized by this place and have had nightmares about this place from time to time years after my experience here. When someone is experiencing a mental health emergency and need immediate help, they don t need any punishment or further distress and have all their human rights taken away like this place does. It makes their mental health a lot worse like it did with me. This place should really be worked on being shut down. Please do not send yourself or any loved ones here! I would definitely give this place zero stars if that was an option.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient Inpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery and those who are exiting detox programs. It's ideal for clients in crisis or at an elevated risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment centers provide housing and meals, allowing clients to focus on their recovery away from distractions and addiction triggers. Clients engage in intensive psychotherapy, and many inpatient programs feature recovery-focused life skills training and/or complementary therapies like meditation, creative arts therapy, and other holistic treatments.
Sober Living Homes If you're struggling with adjusting to daily life after inpatient rehab, a sober living home in Arizona may be a good option. These residences offer an in-between option where you can practice the skills you learned in rehab in a structured, drug-free environment. This transition can help you prepare to face the "real world" after treatment. You'll live with others in recovery and follow house rules such as contributing to chores and paying rent.
24-Hour Clinical Care The initial phase of recovery treatment typically includes 24-hour clinical care in Arizona. This constant supervision ensures a safe detox process, which helps the individual physically stabilize from substance use. Patients will receive medications to curb withdrawal symptoms and cravings, as well as other necessary medical treatment. This period typically lasts up to a week, then the individual will receive medical clearance to begin inpatient or outpatient rehab.
Medically Assisted Detox The safest way to remove addictive substances from your body is done under the care of licensed medical professionals. Known as medically assisted detox, this level of care is typically in an inpatient setting with a team of medical experts that may include doctors, nurses, and mental health clinicians. Medications like Suboxone, methadone, or Vivitrol may be administered to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical behavior therapy in Arizona focuses on acceptance of your reality and behaviors while also attempting to make changes in unhealthy behaviors. It has been shown to be effective for the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorder.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
