One thing I look for when being with a counselor is confidentiality, and the one that treated me had it for sure! If you want to improve, well this is the place to open up and feel safe about it. Front desk is very professional also.
About Deer Valley Counseling
Deer Valley Counseling is a private mental health and substance abuse treatment program in Phoenix, Arizona, just south of Rose Mofford Sports Park. They believe true treatment helps clients do more than cope with symptoms, by reinforcing personal strengths and happiness. They serve clients of all ages.
Deer Valley Counseling’s solution-focused treatment helps clients analyze their problems from an outside perspective and identify healthy coping methods through practical skills. Counselors guide clients through treatment and help reinforce positive thinking. Services are provided on an outpatient basis.
An outpatient program is a less restrictive form of care for clients who have completed a higher level of care or who are otherwise stable, with mild symptoms. Since clients at this level don’t need around-the-clock supervision, they continue to live independently at home. Appointments are available on a flexible schedule to accommodate busy clients.
The core of outpatient treatment is counseling, which can occur in individual and group settings. In addition to substance abuse and mental health counseling, Deer Valley Counseling can help with anger management, bullying behaviors, cutting and other forms of self harm, domestic violence, and sex addiction. Additionally, they provide marriage, family, and post-divorce counseling.
Deer Valley Counseling accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. However, clients should always confirm their coverage with their insurance provider before entering a rehab program, as in network and out of network benefits can vary.

I went to counselling there for 4 years and 9 months never had a bad experience the staff was always professional and it gave me a lot of good insight into how to live my life and how to treat others I will never forget the experience.
I didn't spend much time here but the experience was not bad. Ultimately I stopped coming after one visit due to a move creating too much distance. I had one minor billing error that was corrected for me by Jamie. Thanks guys!
Response from the owner4 years ago
Glad to help!
First, I should be up front. Jamie Nettles is my dad, and Sandra is my step-mom. I don't want anyone to think that I'm trying to be sneaky.With that said, Sandra acted as my counselor growing up. She's the kind of person that you'll feel comfortable talking to. I remember many times that Sandra would choose to wait for us at a bench in the mall or some such place, and when would get back a stranger would be with her telling Sandra their life story. It's just something about Sandra.Now, I do feel I should warn you. If you are looking for a councilor to just sit and listen to you, then you are looking in the wrong place. Sandra will support you, help you, listen to you, but she will tell you when you are fooling yourself too.Many, many, many times, more than I care to remember, Sandra would call me out on something, and I would get so frustrated and angry because I didn't want what she was telling me to be true, but after some time (a few minutes to a few days depending on my stubbornness) I would realize how right she was.In short, Sandra is a great counselor if you want to improve. If you sincerely want to feel better, to handle life better, to simply live better, then Deer Valley counseling is where you want to go.

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
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.
Aftercare Support 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).
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
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
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
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.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
