DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Let me save you the trouble in your search and go to Via Linda Behavioral Health. I don't want to overlook the intake nurse Jen as well as Jake and Clarence who were technician's that were professional, compassionate and did their JOB!!!! However, this is a "sample" of some of the Healthcare I received while being "treated" at RI.Saturday, March 8th @ 4:45 a.m. The night technician (dressed in street clothes ~ they don't wear uniforms) broke out his remote control car and started driving it in the common area. Now, if one patient had walked out of their door and stepped on that....they would have gone flying. March 8th @ 5:20 a.m. The night nurse put on a New Level Remix song on his Spotify account to accommodate one of the patients. The song being played over and over again was: Mother Fxxin Nixxxr!!! Again, March 8th, you are supposed to get your medication at 8:00 a.m. I finally received mine at 9:27 a.m. from Janet (a nice lady, but) a mistake was made and I brought it to her attention. She said "no, all looks good", I asked her to check again and then she said "oh yeah, you are correct and I was the only person that she made a MISTAKE ON.Don't worry, I have many more NOTES and I encourage RI to keep their videos of my stay because they will be called upon to release them. We will be talking soon.

I rated this place a 1 star bc it was absolutely horrible, the staff was not friendly at all except for one of the male staff, I never did get his name which I feel horrible about but he was so compassionate about his job and so caring he helped me feel better. All of the other staff was rude and not caring at all. When you would want to use the locked restroom they looked around to see if anyone else would unlock it, they were very lazy I asked for meds repeatedly and I never got them. So I missed my AM meds and my PM meds, they held me for 24 hours. It was horrible. My SMI clinic brought me there bc I was having a crisis. If you are having a crisis do not go there they will not do anything for you. That place was filthy and all you do is sit in a recliner staring at the wall. That is not the place to go to if you are having a crisis.

Accepted Insurance

RI International – Recovery Response Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

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 iconOutpatient
Many clients who enroll in an outpatient rehab program are exiting intensive inpatient care and no longer require such high-level clinical supervision. Outpatient programs typically follow a step-down structure, with treatment frequency and intensity decreasing as clients progress in their recovery journey. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care are the most time-intensive and are designed primarily for clients who have just left inpatient treatment or who are at an elevated risk of relapse.
inpatient iconInpatient
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive inpatient programs (IOP) offer high-level support for clients in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient rehabs, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically includes rigorous individual, group, and family counseling. Evidence-based complementary therapies, such as acupuncture and massage, are widely available. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) may be provided. Clients in IOP receive a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week but may engage in up to 20 treatment hours weekly.
sober-living iconSober 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.

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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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

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.

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.

Have been trying to find out about my son who was in distress. Picked up by cops and dumped there. Won't call me back after my son signed release forms. He told me he's been there for 3 days , but they tell me he was put there yesterday. This is the most awful place. It's a holding cell for people who are dealing with mental issues and won't let their families take custody of them . It's causes more trauma, not being in contact with family.

I was brought in while not in crisis on a petition and was automatically dismissed and treated like I was insane. I was stuck there for over 24 hours while there was no attempt by the facility to contact my mom to inform her that I was there until Ifinally found a doctor that listened to me. I called multiple times and she kept repeating that they hadn't contacted her. They wouldn't call my regular psychiatrist or therapist to confirm I was already voluntarily receiving treatment outside of the facility, they wouldn't call the witness I had for the night the petition filed to confirm I was fine and not at risk, and any attempt I made to advocate for myself ended in being dismissed or marked as unstable. They lied to me repeatedly about the process, they lied to me repeatedly about where they were sending me and the conditions I'd have there, I incredibly uncomfortable with some of the other patients and how they were getting way too close and staring and following me around and essentially nothing was done, even when another woman shoved me out of the way when I was trying to review the patient rights posted on the wall. They never gave me a copy of the petition when I requested it (and neither did law enforcement who brutalized me before bringing me) nor did they give me even my discharge paperwork. This place is a complete mess and I worry about the people who aren't of sound mind that can't advocate for themselves. Thank you to Suri, Nicole, Marisca, Cathy, and Reanna for doing what you could to help me as much as you did. You actually listened to me and made me feel much safer in an environment I felt completely in fight or flight mode in due to how traumatic this experience was. I wish you all the best and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Honestly, I think the whole operation here is just a huge money scam. I got stuck in here from 1/3/2025-1/8/2025. I think the Police just find unfortunate people in the wrong place at the wrong time like I was at the beginning of the year and then find some technicality to get the people petitioned there because the Police get money for it somehow. Then the hospital tries as hard as they can to come up with some sort of psychiatric diagnosis and psychiatric meds for the unfortunate victims who got put in here so they can bill people's insurance companies and give the hospital workers money. But they called me "schizoaffective" and "bi-polar", so what do I know, right? I will give the place 2 stars instead of 1 because there was someone who I thought I would never in my life see again that I am quite fond of who was working here during my 5 day stay whom I didn't even know worked there.

My son was picked up by Phx PD for bizarre behavior and dropped off at RI Intl. On Jan 10, RI called to tell me my son was there, on a voluntary basis. On Jan 12, my son called me to pick him up as he didn't want to be there any longer. When I showed up, I was told they had petitioned to keep him there. He couldn't be released. I was told I would be called when he is to be released. (I'm on his release of info form.) On Jan 15, my son called and asked me to pick him up. I called RI and was told that the petition would expire the next morning. I visited my son that night as it was my first night off. (Visiting hrs 7:30pm-9:00pm M-F.) I heard nothing on Jan 16 and believed that the petition had been renewed. On Jan 17, I received a call from RI asking if I could bring my son's medication to the facility. I couldn't believe a mental health facility was asking me to provide medication while he's a patient. I asked what they've been doing for him besides locking him in. The RI employee ended the call. My son said he didn't want visitors so I skipped it on Jan 17, although no hours again until Jan 20. On Jan 20, I called RI to speak to someone that could tell me his status. I was told that my son was no longer at their facility. Thanks to RI for sending a person out in the cold weather with no way to get home or to his car (impounded when he was picked up by PD). Thanks RI for the call I didn't receive to pick him up. I've visited a few mental health facilities and I wouldn't want anyone I cared about to be place at Recovery Innovations/RI International.

I don't even know how this place is open with the way they treat their patients, just like CBI they hold you down on a rubber bench and pull down your pants and inject you against your will if you show any signs of distress (not attacking staff or patients, just distress) and then they think it's funny to pretend to pull your pants down like they're about to assault you further. You're sat in an extremely chaotic and unsettling room with patients and employees moving around and screaming everywhere , I have no idea how this is supposed to help anyone with a mental condition or that is in distress. There are decent inpatient hospitals out there but I think this is worse than CBI (and CBI has permanently traumatized me) and I think probably even jail or prison. Also somehow they had a mentally handicapped female that I was roomed with years ago at destiny springs in patient here at the same time I was, and it was almost like they were alluding to me being negative towards her?? I fully observed her childhood trauma and abuse symptoms and tried to help the best I could with what I was also going through. It's not fair or even okay to try and pin her issues on me years later. She also didn't seem to be doing too well. I am just like any other patient I don't speak from a place of difference I just see the administrative and patient sides. This place is also next door to Immanuel campus of care which should DEFINITELY be shut down.... Makes sense two horrible hell on earth places would be in the same parking lot
