Arizona's Premier Tempe Residential Treatment Center
Feel seen, supported, and safe. Our Tempe residential treatment program helps you get rid of your drug addiction and mental illness through evidence-based therapies in a compassionate, judgment-free, accredited setting.
Trusted Residential Treatment for Tempe Adults
Are you dealing with mental health challenges and don’t know how to pull yourself out of it? Or maybe you’re struggling with drug addiction. If either sounds like your situation, Nirvana Recovery’s 45- to 60-day Tempe residential treatment program is the support you’ve been looking for.
We’re accredited by The Joint Commission, which means we meet the highest standards for care. Our program offers 24-hour supervision and monitoring in a residential setting. A calm, structured space designed to help you recover.
Through a dual-diagnosis treatment approach, we focus on addressing both your drug addiction and mental health issues. This allows our licensed therapists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and psychologists to treat not just the surface, but the core issues driving your condition.
Your treatment plan will include evidence-based therapies, combined with holistic care that speaks to your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
However, getting sober and mentally fit is one step, and staying continuously in that way post-rehab requires a plan. That’s why we give you a list of local Tempe-based resources along with access to our alumni support network. So you’re never left figuring it out on your own.

How Do I Get Started? What's the Process
Our goal at the Tempe residential treatment program is to make this recovery journey process smooth, clear, and reassuring. Right from when you first speak with our admissions team to when you begin treatment with us.
- 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 drug & alcohol addiction 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 Tempe residential treatment program smooth and supportive from start to finish.
- Upon your arrival at our residential treatment facility, which is 29.9 miles away, 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 in our Arizona rehab center 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 Tempe residential treatment program.
Individual Therapy
You’ll have an individual confidential session where our trained professionals help you understand what’s behind your substance 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 Tempe 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 Tempe. And connect you with our growing community of successful alumni.
- With the right aftercare program (which is included in your treatment), you can achieve lasting recovery from substance use.

Recreation Center, Parks, & Library for Tempe Adults
At times, it can feel like two steps forward, one step back when you’re recovering from mental health issues or drug addiction. What matters is having places that help you find your footing again after residential rehab. Tempe offers safe, welcoming environments through its parks, recreation centers, and library. That support you as you rebuild motivation, relationships, and emotional strength. As mental health professionals, we know how vital these touchpoints are to your recovery.
Recreation & Community Centers
- Tempe’s recreation and community centers like Clark Park, Edna Vihel, Kiwanis Recreation Center, and the Escalante Multi-Generational Center.
- Offers fun, safe, and expertly organized programs for adults like you. Participating in any of their activities, such as working toward a fitness goal or learning a new skill, can be an effective way to distract yourself from cravings.
- Also, staying physically active encourages your body to release endorphins, easing stress and supporting emotional stability.
Tempe Public Library
- Reading sessions in the Tempe Public Library give you access to well-vetted health narratives that can increase your neuroplasticity.
- When you see how others handled similar challenges, you pick up coping tools you may not have tried.
- That fresh point of view often lowers anxiety and eases stress. Helping you stay steady in recovery.


Parks
- It’s normal to feel anxious and restless when you’re going through addiction or mental health recovery. Staying indoors or being isolated can increase these feelings, and a lack of positive routines can make relapse more likely.
- As professionals, we’ve seen how effective a simple change of environment can be. Whether it’s playing softball, walking the parcourse, or just being in Ehrhardt, Daumler, or Cole Parks.
- Connecting with nature helps ease stress, boost mood, calm the nerves, and restore your mental well-being.
