Gold Standard Mesa, AZ Residential Treatment Center

• The first step is easy. Just get in touch. You’ll speak with our licensed professional. They’ll listen, help you understand your condition, options & steps, answer your questions, and support you without pressure or judgment.

After your initial contact, a quick assessment will be made. During this process, we’ll ask:

• Your history of drug use
• Any related mental health issues (like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or stress)
• Your current physical health status
• And any previous experiences with detox or other levels of care

This assessment typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes, which helps us create a personalized treatment plan for the condition you’re being treated for, whether it’s substance abuse or mental illness.

• After your assessment, we help you understand the potential costs by explaining your coverage and benefits at no cost to you.

Note: For those without insurance, we offer flexible self-pay rates, scholarships, and payment plans. Financial assistance may be available for qualifying clients.

Once your assessment and insurance details are squared away, our expert admissions staff will schedule your admission, often on the same day. Also, we’ll help you:

• Pick a convenient check-in time
• Walk through what to pack
• Arrange complimentary transportation if needed
• Prepare you for the emotional side of day one

Feeling anxious is common, and we get it. Rest assured, our team makes your admission to our Mesa residential treatment program smooth and supportive from start to finish.

• Upon your arrival at our residential treatment facility (one of the best rehab centers in Arizona), you’ll be warmly welcomed by our team, who will guide you through the intake process. This step helps you get comfortable and ensures your well-being from day one.

This is where the real healing happens. Your treatment schedule will be personalized and structured, providing stability and continuous support. However, during your stay, here’s a list of common therapies you will participate in our Mesa residential treatment program.

Individual Therapy

You’ll have an individual confidential session where our trained professionals help you understand what’s behind your addiction & mental illness. You can talk about what you’ve been through. Your emotions, the things that set you off, and any past experiences that still affect you. From there, we build a plan that’s built around your condition and experiences.

Group therapy

Group therapy plays a key role in our treatment approach. These sessions offer a safe space where you can openly discuss your experiences, listen to others, and gain new insights from fellow participants without any judgment under our expert guidance.

Holistic & Recreational Therapy

Conventional treatment lays the foundation. True. But our Mesa residential treatment program goes further. By offering holistic and experiential therapies like yoga, equine, arts, surf therapy, and nature-based activities, we help you gain resilience, regulate emotions, and discover strengths you didn’t know you had.

Nutrition and Exercise

With guidance from our experienced nutritionists, we make wellness part of each day. You enjoy balanced meals, nourishing snacks, and safe opportunities to be active. All in an environment built on trust and expertise. We’re committed to helping you discover what true health feels like.

Family Therapy

Our licensed therapists work with your loved ones to help repair strained communication, create healthy limits, and teach coping techniques that truly make a difference both during and after your treatment.

Evidence-Based Therapies We Employ 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• CBT helps you spot the negative automatic thoughts & habits that push you back toward depression, anxiety, & drug use. Our LMFT-licensed therapists help you replace these negative thoughts and habits with practical, healthy coping skills that truly work.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a highly effective therapy for treating mental health problems & SUDs. Our licensed LPC therapist, through DBT, equips you with four key skills.

• Mindfulness
• Distress
• Interpersonal effectiveness
• Emotion regulation

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT works by guiding you to accept cravings and withdrawal symptoms without needing to react to them immediately. At the same time, it improves psychological flexibility, ultimately reducing the intensity of those cravings.

Contingency Management Therapy (CM)

• CM therapy helps by offering rewards for making healthy choices, such as staying clean for a set amount of time or getting clean drug screenings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

• EMDR targets the trauma behind the addiction by addressing the distressing beliefs and memories that may have fueled your drug addiction.

Exposure Therapy

• Exposure therapy is designed to help you confront the cravings and triggers that fuel your addiction. Its objective is to weaken the power these triggers have over you by slowly introducing you to the very cues that once led to your behavior in our safe, controlled setting.

• Treatment lays the foundation, but aftercare builds the structure, which is why we never overlook it.
• Our aftercare plan offers guidance to access the local resources of Mesa. And connect you with our growing community of successful alumni.
• With the right rehab aftercare support (which is included in your treatment), you can achieve lasting recovery from substance use.
