Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
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.

Medically Assisted Detox 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.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD), also referred to as alcoholism and alcohol addiction, is a chronic condition that involves craving alcohol and an inability to control drinking. A person with AUD must drink greater and greater amounts of alcohol to achieve the same effects and experiences withdrawal symptoms if they stop drinking alcohol. Several evidence-based methods are available to treat AUD through alcohol rehab in Arizona. This treatment can occur on an outpatient or inpatient basis.
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 Addiction
Also known as CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy in Arizona is one of the most common types of psychotherapy. It offers a structured method of counseling that effectively treats substance use disorder and dual diagnosis disorders.
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.
The goal of motivational interviewing in Arizona is to enhance your confidence in your ability to make changes in your life. It encourages you to commit to change and plan for the process of making those changes that will allow you to reach your goals.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Residents of Arizona who are experiencing relationship problems may benefit from couples therapy. This form of psychotherapy helps couples express their feelings, resolve conflicts, and increase intimacy and affection.
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.
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.
Nutrition therapy helps reduce the discomfort of detox and reduces cravings during drug rehab in Arizona. It helps you navigate nutrition, teaching you how to plan and prepare meals that meet your nutritional needs.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

I would highly recommend coming here for treatment. You learn about different coping skills, changing your behavior, and the like. You also learn how to draw, paint, ceramics, and other creative mediums. I have really grown in this program, and looking to the future.
Very unorganized, they are not in this field of work for real care but more for the nice paycheck! An unconscious staff that has no idea of the issues their patients handle.
Helps people help themselves and overcome life’s challenges.
Already wrote review before. It was as if I wasn’t there throughout the whole process with this agency. Leave review up please.
Ive come here a few times for Art Awakenings The workers are VERY helpful with managing my PTSD and suicidal thoughts and they've changed a lot since ive been here last, more focused on the therapy than art especially Rebecca! she's amazing
Very unprofessional. Find another community resource!
Heads up. Their case managers like James like to have people "secretly" listen into your support calls with them. They didn't tell me I was on speakerphone or identify who was listening in on my call. And how did I know? They were literally speaking full volume. Like I am unclear if I was in speaker phone or not based on how clearly I could hear them. I heard them tell James how to respond word for word and then he would "telephone game" what he could remember. Then when I asked to talk to the person advising him I heard "tell her you're not being advised" by the mysterious advisor to my medical call and then James parroted "I am not being advised" lol like it would be hilarious if it was a skit and not my actual life being secretly listened to. Like I have severe memory loss but I'm retaining this memory because of how absurdly stupid the situation was, just admit someone was advising you.
Today I signed into a zoom class about 6 minutes early that was supposed to start at 12:30 I was still sitting in there at 12:50. How unprofessional, someone should have came on and said class was cancelled or let me in. When I needed therapy I was blown off. I have screen shots unfortunately won’t let me attach it.
***Warning to ALL Healthcare Professionals*** Please do not bring your education, talent, hard work and professional credentials to this pathetic company. You will regret the decision you made, put your professional license at risk, witness a revolving door of employees exiting the company in addition to a mountain of questionable ethics by management. Save yourself the grief and heartache. Make a wise career decision and dedicate your time as well as talents to a respected company.
Lady at the front desk is extremely rude. I told her my mental illness and her favorite word is no when I ask for help.
i called 2/19/25 and Trevor answered the phone as himself nothing else. i had to cold call myway into getting him to do his job. this is my doctors? correct i have the right number. okay i need help with a zoom appointment. He shouldn't be answering phone calls! Anything else for that guy "Trevor". it was like i was his very first patient phone call, and he didn't know how to take a order from a drive through yet.
