About Desert Recovery Centers - Scottsdale
Desert Recovery Centers - Scottsdale delivers real change by addressing the root causes of addiction and mental health challenges. They provide personalized care for up to 10 women at a time in a relaxing and elegant environment, ensuring the recovery journey is not only effective but also comfortable and enjoyable. They weave together evidence-based modalities, holistic therapies, and a compassionate support system, helping women reclaim their lives with dignity and purpose.
Work Toward Recovery 7 Days Per Week
Desert Recovery offers a range of evidence-based therapies in individual, group, and family formats, including:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to rewire thinking patterns and build healthier behaviors
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to develop emotional regulation skills
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused CBT to target underlying trauma
- Motivational interviewing to boost commitment to the recovery process.
A high staff-to-client ratio gives clients the benefit of 4+ individual sessions per week to dive deep into their unique challenges.
Settle into a Resort-Like Residence
Desert Recovery is a peaceful getaway featuring high-end amenities and mountain views. Clients stay in elegantly appointed shared rooms or private suites, and dine on all-natural catered meals, with occasional opportunities to cook dinner together. Indoors, clients can relax with a massage, reenergize in the gym, or unwind in the movie theater. The expansive grounds offer multiple recreation areas: a pool, tennis court, putting green, and a walking trail with affirmations along the route.
Transition Back to Daily Life with a Plan
Plans for life after treatment begin during residential care to help prevent relapse and support long-term stability. Clients continue with outpatient therapy to reinforce coping mechanisms, attend support groups to maintain a supportive network, and build detailed relapse prevention plans to handle triggers in daily life. Connections to employee assistance programs (EAP) offer added workplace support.
