About Core Recovery

Core Recovery is a private mental health and substance abuse treatment facility in Phoenix, Arizona. Their mission is to make behavioral health treatment accessible to all, to eliminate the lingering stigma surrounding mental illness. They serve teens and adults.

The staff at Core Recovery rely on evidence-based treatment methods to ensure clients receive high-quality care. Clients work closely with staff to develop an individualized care plan that meets their unique needs. Services include a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

The PHP offers high-level outpatient treatment. Clients participate in five-hour sessions five times per week while continuing to live at home. The intensive, highly structured environment includes evaluation, counseling (individual, group, and family), art therapy, development of coping skills, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and case management services. PHP clients can also transition into a lower level of care.

The IOP is less intensive than PHP and meets less often (three to four sessions each week, each lasting three hours). Clients in IOP participate in individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, EMDR therapy, and case management services.

Core Recovery accepts most major insurance plans. However, because in network and out of network benefits can vary, clients should always make it a point to confirm their coverage with their insurance provider before enrolling in treatment.

I really enjoyed and appreciated my time at CORE Recovery, and found it to be very helpful in a number of ways. They have an approach to treatment that addresses whatever your particular scenario is-there are multiple methods of treatment to support you. Individual therapist, family therapist are both assigned-typically different people for each so that the integrity of each is maintained. Group therapy sessions (I attended evening group sessions) are very helpful, as you are with other people that have same or similar issues. Which is great for peer support, feedback. There are "activities" done each session covering a wide range of topics-which are all related in their own way to treatment.There is a focus on mental health-which I had essentially overlooked, or dismissed-and found this to be specifically helpful. As in, fixing the overall whole, required addressing each individual part. Once I truly grasped this, and was able to do the work and come to an understanding of the importance, how to address, and practice what was learned-the overall experience, and end result, was easier and better.Again: family therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, nurse practitioners available, ability to use medications to also support recovery (or you obviously can choose not to use medications), it's all available.I'd recommend CORE Recovery for sure!I'd recommend CORE to be sure.

Accepted Insurance

Core Recovery works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

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 iconOutpatient
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Arizona is the process of treating individuals who are dependent on a particular addictive drug. Because addiction is complex, this treatment typically includes a variety of interventions that address the many physical and emotional issues involved.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Core Recovery will join with the family to develop common goals and create and individualized treatment plan that meet the needs of all the members of the family of the addict or individual.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

We are from out of state and came to Core Recovery to seek treatment of Trauma/PTSD/Depression for our daughter. Core was a blessing. The providers are patient, understanding, helpful and skilled. Our daughter embraced therapy and improved tremendously. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff and therapists at Core. Highly recommend.

I don't know what I would have done without Core Recovery. They taught me amazing coping skills, looked out for me, encouraged me, and helped me get back to the old me. I was able to get off all the medications I was prescribed and continue a healthy lifestyle. I wouldn't know where I would be without them.

I am currently still in treatment under the Partial Hospitalization Program going 5 hours per day 5 days a week. This place has been nothing short of a huge blessing. I have been coming to Core since beginning of March and they have made some significant changes with their staff, procedures, and treatment style since the beginning of 2023. I can not even put into words how wonderful this place is. I've been in many mental health facilities here in the valley over the years and Core has gained my trust and I feel like I'm finally getting the help I've desperately been trying to find. I am currently also trying EMDR therapy to help with my trauma, and depression. Core Recovery was recommended to me by one of my doctors (she was going to have her daughter come here) and this was one of the best decisions I've made in a very long time.Some of the benefits of Core Recovery vs. many other mental health facilitiesis:1. Treatment is individualized as to what the patient needs2. The team all communicate once a week to discuss how best to treat each patient moving forward.3. Core offers medication management, individual, family, group and creative expression therapies.4. The staff (mostly all new since 2023) has really gone above and beyond to provide the absolute best care/treatment. This includes paperwork (FMLA, Leave of absence, short term disability, long term disability etc.)I will recommend Core Recovery to anyone seeking outpatient care that will ACTULLY help and not just force pills down your throat.I will update again after I complete my program here, however in the meantime please give this place a try, I promise you will not regret it. I know I don't regret it, and wish I could have came here sooner.Kind Regards,Ash C.

Response from the owner1 year ago
Thank you Ashley for your positive review and recommendation of Core Recovery! Your insights about their effective approach are much appreciated. Looking forward to your update after completing the program. Your encouragement to try Core Recovery is valuable, and I'm glad you've had such a positive experience.

Currently in the PHP here right now. Everyone who works here is extremely friendly and helpful. There is one provider I don t really jive with but everyone else is great. I really like the group therapy. We also have a creative expression group which is mostly art based. I wish other forms of creative expression were used like music and jewelry making. Also outdoor time would be beneficial too. Overall I m pretty happy to be here while I get the help I need for my mental health.

Response from the owner1 year ago
Thank you so much for your kind words, Tara! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your time at Core Recovery and that you've found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

We hope you'll continue to visit us as we work to help you reach your goals. Thank you for choosing Core Recovery.
