Buena Vista Health and Recovery Centers

About Buena Vista Health and Recovery Centers

Buena Vista Health and Recovery Centers in Tucson, Arizona, has multiple levels of care for those seeking recovery from substance abuse and addiction. Medical detoxification, residential treatment, intensive outpatient and outpatient programs are available for adults who are struggling with all stages of addiction.

Medical detox is a safe method of going through withdrawal without suffering from all the adverse effects of the process. Patients are monitored by medical staff, and interventions are applied to help minimize the symptoms. Detox usually lasts somewhere between two and 10 days depending on the situation, client and addiction.
A 28 day inpatient residential program is usually the next step after detox. This program helps residents get to the core reasons they turn to substances and allows them to work on healing the pain and developing the coping skills to beat their addiction and start their journey to a healthy and sober life.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are the next level of care between inpatient residential and traditional outpatient treatment. The IOP treatment plan has clients meet three times a week to gain the support they need while still engaged in their community and life outside of treatment. There are also options to attend intensive outpatient treatment through virtual options depending on the situation and client’s needs.

The final step is outpatient treatment which is there to provide resources and support as clients return to their life with their new commitment to a healthy and sober life. The skills they have learned through all the stages of treatment can now be implemented in their daily lives. They can build a life free from addiction with the support of peers and professionals who understand it is a daily quest to live the best quality of life possible without using drugs, alcohol, or other addictions.

Buena Vista Health and Recovery Centers accepts most insurance plans, and most treatment programs are at least partly covered. It is vital that you connect with your personal health insurance provider to verify what coverage you have and whether you have any financial obligations related to the treatment costs.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery and those who are exiting detox programs. It's ideal for clients in crisis or at an elevated risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment centers provide housing and meals, allowing clients to focus on their recovery away from distractions and addiction triggers. Clients engage in intensive psychotherapy, and many inpatient programs feature recovery-focused life skills training and/or complementary therapies like meditation, creative arts therapy, and other holistic treatments.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive inpatient programs (IOP) offer high-level support for clients in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient rehabs, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically includes rigorous individual, group, and family counseling. Evidence-based complementary therapies, such as acupuncture and massage, are widely available. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) may be provided. Clients in IOP receive a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week but may engage in up to 20 treatment hours weekly.

Aftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs support clients' successful reintegration into their home, workplace, and community. Drug rehab aftercare presumes that recovery requires life-long support. These programs typically offer a wide variety of services customized for the clients' unique and evolving needs. Clients may receive vocational training and career counseling, housing assistance, legal aid, peer coaching, and 12 step program induction, among other services. Clients' case managers often play a lead role in rehab aftercare planning.

12-Step

Many addiction recovery centers base their treatment modalities on the 12 step program model, and those in treatment often transition to community-based programs. These programs can also be effective for clients who choose not to enter rehab. Traditionally, 12 step meetings are designed to provide intensive peer support whenever it is needed. In addition to group meetings and peer sponsorship, participants "work the steps" to achieve recovery through a systematic healing of the mind, body, and spirit.

Intervention Services

If a person denies their substance abuse behavior when confronted one-on-one, a drug intervention in Arizona may be necessary. An intervention may be formally planned with intervention services from a professional who can guide loved ones through this process. The intervention involves confronting someone with how their drinking or drug use has affected themselves and everyone around them and encourages them to get treatment.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers a short-term alternative to inpatient treatment or a step-down option after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you'll receive 6 to 8 hours of daily support, up to 5 days a week. The duration of a partial hospitalization program can vary with the average length being 90 days. While commuting is necessary, some programs also offer telehealth options. PHP treatment is often covered by insurance and typically offers medication management, relapse prevention techniques, and behavioral therapy.

24-Hour Clinical Care

The initial phase of recovery treatment typically includes 24-hour clinical care in Arizona. This constant supervision ensures a safe detox process, which helps the individual physically stabilize from substance use. Patients will receive medications to curb withdrawal symptoms and cravings, as well as other necessary medical treatment. This period typically lasts up to a week, then the individual will receive medical clearance to begin inpatient or outpatient rehab.

Medically Assisted Detox

The safest way to remove addictive substances from your body is done under the care of licensed medical professionals. Known as medically assisted detox, this level of care is typically in an inpatient setting with a team of medical experts that may include doctors, nurses, and mental health clinicians. Medications like Suboxone, methadone, or Vivitrol may be administered to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

HIV/AIDS Program

HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Also known as CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy in Arizona is one of the most common types of psychotherapy. It offers a structured method of counseling that effectively treats substance use disorder and dual diagnosis disorders.

Dialectical behavior therapy in Arizona focuses on acceptance of your reality and behaviors while also attempting to make changes in unhealthy behaviors. It has been shown to be effective for the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorder.

In Arizona, group therapy helps promote accountability and motivation for men and women who want to stay committed to addiction recovery. It fosters a sense of community where you can share your progress and learn new coping strategies from your peers.

Individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction includes focused attention on the unique challenges that trigger addictive behavior. During individual therapy sessions, you have a safe space in which to discuss stressors and emotional struggles. Therapy fosters trust and open communication that helps develop personalized strategies to overcome addiction.

The goal of motivational interviewing in Arizona is to enhance your confidence in your ability to make changes in your life. It encourages you to commit to change and plan for the process of making those changes that will allow you to reach your goals.

Trauma therapy focuses on helping you understand and manage emotional and physical responses to past trauma. Using therapeutic interventions, you learn to reframe the experience. This helps reduce your anxiety and gives you greater control over your life.

Residents of Arizona who are experiencing relationship problems may benefit from couples therapy. This form of psychotherapy helps couples express their feelings, resolve conflicts, and increase intimacy and affection.

Family therapy involves sessions where members of the family discuss how addiction has affected them individually and collectively. Therapists can guide families in developing coping strategies that help support their loved one's recovery while also focusing on their own emotional health.

Developing life skills is an important piece of addiction recovery treatment. These skills help you succeed in day to day tasks and live a healthy, independent life. They include communication, critical thinking, problem solving, self control, and resilience.

The residential was great other then a few glitches, like ac was out for over a week in summer. However the IOP was a horrible experience . I was refused because I could only take another month off from work and they wanted me to comit for additional 12 weeks. So much for support

We are sorry to hear this. We now offer a virtual option for IOP for those that can't attend in person because of work or transportation issues.

This Cave Creek facility is an absolute hoax, lol I dropped off my husband and was told an abundance of lies about being able to keep in contact for check ins and to see if he needed any fresh belongings. Every question I asked I was told yes I am allowed and that it wouldn t be a problem! He was there for 3 days without any update or contact at all, yes they do have a blackout and I understood this but while also coming to find out that he ended up leaving his second day to come back a half hour later and I was not informed and yes I was on his ROI! Buena Vista runs their facility by choice of how they take the addict in and what insurance they have..not by code of conduct surrounding HIPPA or quality of care for the person coming in seeking help. They never released a form with consent of cameras being in the rooms, 2 female staff strip searched my husband naked..and 1 female staff ended up slipping a you are handsome note with a winky face in my husbands going home bag not only am I an addict myself but I work in the field as well and I am not only embarrassed by this treatment but saddened by the care people are receiving DO better! Only good part it they helped him with meds. Great job lol

I have been trying to call this place since 10am and it is now 3:15, I've left multiple voicemails. It rings and rings until then leading into a beeping dial tone, I don't even get a voicemail. HORRIBLE SERVICE, wouldn't recommend. SO much for this being a place to help people. RIDICULOUS.

kelly Trznadel

This place was horrible. Do not go here. Never saw a doctor in 4 days. Refused any phone access, including house phone.. Staff was unprofessional. Food horrible. I wouldn't reccomend to my worst enemy.

Hi Kelly, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We do have a 7-day black out period while detoxing to ensure you're able to focus on stabilization. Please give us a call at 480-999-0851 so we can learn more about your experience and what we can do to remedy it going forward. Thanks.

Sandra Snider

Buena Vista is top notch! It s been 18 months since my stay and I m pleased to share that I m doing fantastic. I was in pretty rough shape when I walked through those doors. The staff gave me immediate care and made me feel comfortable. Everyone there was very patient and kind. It was probably one of the worst times of my life, but the best thing I could have ever done. The great counseling truly opened my eyes and I ve learned how to cope with my anxiety without a crutch. There are a lot of group meetings and activities, i recommend that you push yourself to to do them all. I m so grateful that I was able to open my mind and heart to the treatment I was given. I know I had a strong will to heal, but couldn t have done it without the wonderful staff!!A huge thank you to the staff at Buena Vista! God bless you all!Sandra

Thank you for the awesome feedback, Sandra! You did really great on your recovery and we are just here to guide you on the right track so you can live a happy and sober life. Looking forward to catching up with you! Stay safe always.
