About 5A – Alcoholism & Addiction Assistance Association
They’ve designed this program to be the perfect next step for anyone who’s just completed an inpatient addiction treatment program. Along with sober housing, they also provide two nutritious meals a day and will transport you to and from meetings relating to your recovery.
Residents are expected to take part in a 12-step program of their choosing. You have the option to attend any of the over 50 meetings they host onsite throughout the week, or you can find a group off campus. The idea is that you get used to living independently while also progressing your recovery and building sober habits.
Many people struggle to jump right back into their regular routines immediately following time spent in inpatient treatment. A transitional housing program like Craig Shell’s New Solution bridges the gap between intensive treatment and normal life, giving you time to adjust to sobriety within a supportive and encouraging community.
New Solution is great because it allows you a lot of freedom without compromising the level of support they provide. During the day, you can come and go as you please. They’re conveniently located near public transportation options that make it easy for you to get around town. If necessary, they can also help connect you to local employment and volunteer opportunities. These build your experience and set you up for a stable, sober life.

Solid program
Hey it's not a looker, but the people here were a port in a storm when I needed it most. My experience here honestly saved my life. 2 years sober.
I was a client at 5A and I had a great experience there. The staff was attentive and friendly. It was conveniently located to buses and the metro rail. I enjoyed my time there and completed/graduated the program. I would highly recommend this program to anyone selling help for substance abuse.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Arizona is the process of treating individuals who are dependent on a particular addictive drug. Because addiction is complex, this treatment typically includes a variety of interventions that address the many physical and emotional issues involved.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
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.

Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
