I came to The Summit Sanctuary in February 2026 in a really bad way. Thirty days later I walked out a different person, and I don’t say that lightly. My therapist, Emily, was extraordinary. She had a way of getting past my defenses without ever making me feel cornered — patient, sharp, and completely present in every session. My group leader, Devon, brought something different but just as important: he held the room with a steadiness that made it safe to actually say the hard things out loud, and he never let anyone hide, including me.

The Summit was right there when I needed them most. If you or your family member are struggling with addiction or mental health and looking for help I truly recommend The Summit. Their luxury style facilities made it feel good to get help. The personnel is very attentive and knowledgeable. Huge shoutout to Emily, Jade and Devin. They made the day to day activities and sessions not so “treatment-y” - I actually found myself excited to attend them. Michael is one of a kind businessman. An owner with tons of heart and compassion. He cares about his employees and his patients. I cannot express how much I am grateful for the help I received from The Summit Sanctuary.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

The Summit Sanctuary works with several private insurance providers, 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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of 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.

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.

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

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Arizona's substance abuse treatment centers can provide tailored treatment for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Treatment programs may include medically assisted detox, 12-Step recovery, intensive outpatient programs, and aftercare support. Addiction experts employ evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and talk therapy to uncover and reframe unhelpful patterns. By graduation, you'll have developed new coping strategies, learned new stress management techniques, and have the capability of sustaining your recovery.

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in Arizona provides integrated care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Services may include medically assisted detox, 12-Step recovery, intensive outpatient programs, and aftercare support. Addiction experts use evidence-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused therapy, to simultaneously address substance use and mental health disorders. This comprehensive approach to treatment helps to ensure sustained recovery.

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. 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 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

Family therapy involves sessions where members of the family discuss how addiction has affected them individually and collectively. Therapists can guide families in developing coping strategies that help support their loved one's recovery while also focusing on their own emotional health.

In Arizona, group therapy helps promote accountability and motivation for men and women who want to stay committed to addiction recovery. It fosters a sense of community where you can share your progress and learn new coping strategies from your peers.

Individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction includes focused attention on the unique challenges that trigger addictive behavior. During individual therapy sessions, you have a safe space in which to discuss stressors and emotional struggles. Therapy fosters trust and open communication that helps develop personalized strategies to overcome addiction.

Developing life skills is an important piece of addiction recovery treatment. These skills help you succeed in day to day tasks and live a healthy, independent life. They include communication, critical thinking, problem solving, self control, and resilience.

Trauma therapy focuses on helping you understand and manage emotional and physical responses to past trauma. Using therapeutic interventions, you learn to reframe the experience. This helps reduce your anxiety and gives you greater control over your life.

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.

In March 2026 my wife was hospitalized for 6 days at Banner Behavioral Health in Scottsdale, AZ and was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. It was recommended that she enter a 30-day in-patient program to help her deal with her illness. Her PCP and psychiatrist both concurred with that recommendation. I looked online at several providers and based on posted reviews and in-depth discussions with Jordan Koplan, their admissions director, I chose The Summit Sanctuary in Scottsdale for her treatment center. I emphasized to him that she would need psychiatric care and would also need skilled medication management to cope with her condition. I also told him that her psychiatrist was not only an MD but also held a PhD in clinical psychology and was highly skilled in medication management. Her doctor felt it was important that she work closely with their onsite doctors and medical staff to ensure that my wife's medicines were monitored daily. He assured me that they had a psychiatrist on staff who would be available at least once a week for consultation. The Summit website showed the psychiatrist to be Dr. Roland Segal, Managing Partner. After neither he nor any other psychiatrist attended my wife in the first 3 weeks that my wife was at The Summit, I called Jordan and asked where Dr. Segal was. I received no explanation, but Dr. Segal’s image and biography were removed from their website. No psychiatrist appeared in the 30 days my wife was at The Summit. Their onsite person who administered medications was not a doctor but a psychiatry nurse who was dedicated and concerned but not trained to the level of expertise that my wife required. It is often the practice that a NP can prescribe medications but only under the direct supervision of a psychiatrist or psychologist but that did not seem to be the case at The Summit. In addition, this NP was difficult to reach, in part because he was absent from The Summit for a week or more while my wife was there and there was no back up for him. I was allowed to visit my wife 2 hours a week on Friday afternoons. During those times and at the time of her admission, I observed the following: 1. At check in for her $45,000 self-paid stay, we were greeted by a nurse but not by the Director of Admissions, the Director of Operations, nor anyone else. I was not allowed to tour the facility, as it might disturb the patients. 2. In all my visits, I never met with a single doctor. 3. The swimming pool was unused for the 30 days she was there because the heater had failed and the owner, Michael Goldman, decided to wait for the weather to get hotter to heat the pool. 4. There was only one chef which meant patients prepared their own breakfasts and weekend meals from food supplies left for them by the chef. In addition, all the patients were allotted a storage space in the kitchen area so they could order in supplemental food supplies. Not all meals were accompanied by salads or vegetables. 5. They pushed hard for my wife to continue in their 30-day follow-up treatment program even though it was apparent to me and her personal doctors that their program was not effective for her. They also pushed for her to do TMS treatments which they offered to pay for, given the circumstances. I felt, however, that she needed an evaluation by a reputable psychiatrist to determine if she required further treatment and, if so, what would be the most effective in her case. It was determined that she was a good candidate for ECT which my own research had shown was probably the best path forward. Subsequently, she began an ECT treatment program which has proven highly successful, restoring her to her former self. In summary, while the staff tried hard, The Summit was not the appropriate treatment environment for my wife nor was it what it was advertised to be. For these reasons I have given The Summit a 2-star rating.
