Your stay at Fountain Hills Recovery starts before you arrive. Our admissions team checks your insurance, our medical staff approves any medications you take, and you pack using our list. Once you are here, you live in our private home in north Scottsdale with around 10 other clients. Your phone is stored in the staff safe, and your days follow a structured schedule of individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric care and holistic activities.
Before you arrive
- Call admissions. Our team is available 24/7. They will listen to what is going on, answer questions and help you find the right level of care.
- Check your insurance. We verify your benefits for free and explain what to expect. You can also choose private pay.
- Get your medications approved. Our medical staff must approve any medications before you arrive. Bring them in their original packaging with a list of each one and its dose.
- Pack. Our what to bring list covers documents, clothing and toiletries. Products with alcohol, outside food and drinks, weapons and electronics stay home.
- Plan for withdrawal if you need to. Fountain Hills Recovery does not provide on-site detox services. If you need medically managed withdrawal, our team will help you plan your admission once you are medically cleared.
When you arrive
Staff help you settle in and check your belongings. Cell phones are stored in the staff safe for your stay, so you can focus on treatment without distraction. You will meet the people who will be working with you, and with a client-to-staff ratio that never exceeds 3:1, they get to know you quickly.
Your first week
Your clinical and psychiatric team gets to know you and builds a treatment plan for your mental health and your substance use together. Your days include:
- Individual therapy with your therapist
- Group sessions from our eight-week dual diagnosis curriculum, led by masters-level therapists and counselors and drawing on CBT, DBT, REBT, somatic work, mindfulness, yoga, 12-step work and relapse prevention
- Psychiatric care and medication management
- Holistic therapies such as mindfulness, yoga, music and equine therapy
- A weekly packet of handouts and activities you keep after treatment
See a sample weekly schedule. Your schedule is customized to what you are working through.
After residential treatment
Most residential stays last 30 to 60 days. When you are ready, many people step down to our partial hospitalization program and then our intensive outpatient program at our outpatient center in Fountain Hills. Compare the levels of care. Family therapy helps the people closest to you take part in recovery too.
