Alternative to Meds Center

Alternative to Meds is a small residential center in Sedona, Arizona, with room for up to 18 guests. It helps people who want to carefully lower psychiatric or pain medication, or who need support with mental health or addiction. Programs run 30 to 60 days, with live-in care from start to finish. Tapering is paced to each person, and care looks at nutrition, physical health, and daily life alongside therapy.

Find Out What’s Going On Inside

Alternative to Meds starts by asking what might be driving a person’s struggle, not just how to quiet it. Every client gets advanced lab work to see what’s going on inside the body, plus a personal assessment, with medical oversight guiding decisions. From there, the plan blends talk therapy with other approaches like acupuncture twice a week, massage, and cold plunges, along with organic meals and supplements chosen for the body’s needs. The idea is care that looks at the whole person.

Heal Close to the Red Rocks

Alternative to Meds sits in West Sedona, close to red-rock views and local services, with room for up to 18 guests. That smaller size means more individual attention and a calmer feel rather than most centers. Rooms are private or shared, with the outdoors close by. Days include regular meals, counseling, and spa and bodywork services, plus downtime for ping pong, cornhole, and other games clients enjoy, an easy way to connect between the harder parts of the work.

Head Home With a Plan

Alternative to Meds puts real effort into each client’s plan for what comes next. Before discharge, staff work out where each person needs the most help, then line up what fits, from a supplement routine that keeps supporting their body to connections with the people and services that can help in everyday life back home.
