Receive Tailored Treatment from Master’s-Level Therapists
Legacy Recovery Center is not a one-size-fits-all program. All clients receive a comprehensive assessment to determine the biological, psychological, and social aspects of their mental health disorder or addiction, and treatment is tailored to their specific needs. Treatment is provided through psychotherapy, psychiatric care, modalities specific to clients’ diagnoses, and holistic approaches like physical exercise, spiritual exploration, healthy eating habits, meditation, yoga, and rediscovering passions in life. Support groups such as 12-Step programs are optional.
Find Healing in a Home-Like Space
With 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, full-size beds in semi-private spaces, multiple living rooms, and plenty of room to breathe, the environment is designed to help clients relax and reset. A swimming pool, hot tub, backyard, and full on-site gym offer healthy ways to unwind, while acupuncture, yoga, and a personal trainer support each client’s physical and nutritional healing. Electronics are reintroduced usually after seven days, or sooner for those who need to stay connected to work or children. And families can visit after a week.
Transition Home with Aftercare in Place
Because Legacy maintains close, real relationships with trusted aftercare providers in Phoenix and across the country—providers they’ve personally visited, vetted, and built connections with—patients can feel confident they’re being referred to people who genuinely care and know what they’re doing.

Joint Commission Accredited
The Joint Commission accreditation is a voluntary, objective process that evaluates and accredits healthcare organizations (like treatment centers) based on performance standards designed to improve quality and safety for patients. To be accredited means the treatment center has been found to meet the Commission's standards for quality and safety in patient care.
Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Methadone
Methadone
Dolophine®, Methadose®
Methadone is a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects like pain relief and euphoria. It is longer acting than many other opioids, making it useful in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
It reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings by occupying opioid receptors without causing intense highs. Because it is a full agonist, it must be used carefully to avoid overdose, but it is highly effective when taken as prescribed within a structured program.
Naltrexone
Naltrexone
Vivitrol®, Revia®
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and prevents opioids from producing effects like euphoria or sedation. It is used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorders, but does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal.
It helps reduce cravings and the rewarding effects of opioids or alcohol, supporting long-term recovery. Because it blocks opioid effects, it should only be started after a person has fully detoxed from opioids to avoid triggering withdrawal.
Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine
Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It activates opioid receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal but has a ceiling effect, meaning it produces less euphoria and respiratory depression than full opioids.
Buprenorphine binds tightly to opioid receptors, blocking other opioids from attaching and reducing the risk of misuse. It's often combined with naloxone (as in Suboxone®) to discourage injection misuse and is available in daily or monthly forms.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
