About Anew Treatment Center
For over 25 years, Anew Treatment Center has helped thousands of individuals and their families rediscover who they are, renew their hope, and create a meaningful life. They offer multiple levels of care for long-term, complex psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and co-occurring substance use. Situated in picturesque Scottsdale, Anew hosts its clients in a luxurious center specializing in a therapeutic community-based approach. They also offer transitional living and outpatient care.
The Anew team has carefully designed a flexible, yet structured and stage-based model of care to support clients from the beginning phases of treatment all the way through to the transition into post-treatment life. With the help of evidence-based therapies like somatic therapy, narrative therapy, trauma-informed perspectives, and milieu therapy, clients learn healthy coping skills in addition to the daily living skills necessary for maintainable and lasting change.
Anew’s treatment services are built on the cornerstones of community, reciprocal support, empowerment, and hope. They provide an immersive experience that creates space to learn about oneself, change disruptive patterns, practice new interpersonal skills, and ultimately develop healthy, safe, and lasting relationships. Family involvement is viewed as critical to the recovery process as are alternative therapies like art therapy, equine therapy, and sound therapy.
Anew Treatment Center is anything but a sterile, hospital environment. Instead, their 10-bed home is welcoming and well-furnished with comfortable couches, fireplaces, and spacious living areas. Outside, patients can soak in the Arizona sun, lounge in the shade, or take a swim in the large pool. Residential clients stay in private or shared rooms, and enjoy chef-prepared meals that can accommodate dietary restrictions like gluten-free, halal, kosher, vegan, and vegetarian diets. Anew offers quarterly excursions for adventure therapy, as well as outings to see movies and visit museums. They also provide on-site aftercare, alumni events, discharge planning, and family follow-up counseling for the continued recovery journey.

Anew Treatment Center uses the therapeutic community (TC) model which focuses on the community itself as the primary agent for facilitating social and psychological change in individuals. The TC model incorporates social learning theory in which learning occurs through observation and interaction with others to change thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. It integrates attachment theory, trauma-informed perspectives, somatic-based approaches, and narrative therapy, in addition to the time-tested milieu model and established evidence-based practices.
At Anew, treatment for schizophrenia takes place within a safe and supportive therapeutic milieu where clients have the opportunity to develop and strengthen skills of independent living – everything from health and medication management, to building and nurturing social relationships, to having support in pursuing education or employment goals. Clients join a system where inclusion, belonging, and empowerment create the opportunity to learn, practice, and solidify a plan for long-term recovery.
Anew believes that family members play a critical role in the process of supporting their loved one and themselves in creating a life of health, stability, and success. Staff believe in the importance of maintaining open lines of communication, collaborating with family members, and consistently ensuring an alignment of goals and expectations. They integrate multiple family-focused components into each personalized treatment plan.
Anew recognizes that this chapter of life is not about a quick fix but uncovering what is at the core of the individual or family’s experience, and how to develop an identity beyond the mental health diagnosis. They recognize that long-term care is often required for complex psychiatric disorders, and are able to accompany clients from the foundational stage of treatment in their clinical residential program to transitional support in local housing to outpatient and alumni services. The community is committed to providing social and relational support designed to help solidify gains made along the way.

When we reached Anew, we didn’t know what else to do. We had exhausted all options of what we knew, or thought could be done to help my mom. In desperation, we reached out and they instantly responded. They are trained and educated with experience in these situations. Not only did they know how to handle the situation, but you could also tell they cared. Cared in a way like this had happened to them and they wanted to help other people. Anew worked with us closely and continues to work with us towards healing for the whole family. I would recommend Anew to anyone. Anew helped and continues to help restore and heal our family.
