Everyone here is so nice! Way more professional and faster than the previous hospitals I attended. They waited for me to grow strong enough for each step of the treatment. They continue to give me the same great service up to this day. Nurses and therapists are easy to talk ...
About Gila River Healthcare
Clients in alcohol and/or opioid recovery may enroll in their evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program for longer-term pharmacotherapy, including buprenorphine induction and maintenance, to reduce cravings and decrease relapse risk.
Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is designed for clients who require high-level supervision and support, including those in early recovery, stepping down from inpatient care, or at an elevated risk of relapse. Clients receive medical and mental health assessments and personalized care plans. The program requires up to 20 hours of therapy per week for a minimum of 80 days and includes robust individual, group, and family counseling and recovery-focused life-skills training. Referrals for acute and subacute inpatient care are available as needed.
Their general outpatient program is designed for clients who are medically stable. Treatment includes continuing addiction counseling and recovery education. Clients participate in three therapeutic sessions weekly based on the Matrix model of care.
Their aftercare programs enable a complete continuum of care aligned with clients’ evolving needs and include one therapeutic session per week.

Bad customer service with the operator, I'm a elder and is inpatient with me I have to look up things they hung up on me. I won't go there!
Been here for a few days now....I don't like staying in hospitals but, the day/night staff made me feel so comfortable....very friendly n professional....I felt like I was the only one they were taking care of....thank you GRHC for hiring such a great staff! 🙂
I had excellent care from the ER to the inpatient. The nurses, doctors, and CNAs were all friendly, helpful, and professional. I went for an urgent matter in the ER, the treatment was very thorough. I, unfortunately, had to be checked in for treatment. My stay was comfortable and attentive. They take care of everything even when I was discharged, they schedule my aftercare appointments, the pharmacist came by and dropped off my medication to take home. Overall great care.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
