About RI International

RI International is a mental illness and substance abuse support center headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. They operate a series of programs in several states dedicated to helping people in crisis recover and return to their lives. They serve adult clients.

The organization operates on the principles of safety, engagement, performance, and peer integration, which it calls the “RI Way.” Using these principles, staff make meaningful connections with clients, partners, and community resources to strengthen their care programs. Services include crisis stabilization, outpatient treatment, and recovery housing.

The crisis stabilization services aim to help clients in crisis find stability as quickly and safely as possible. Once stable, clients may be referred to other RI International programs or those operated by other facilities. Crisis stabilization combines the peer, medical, and clinical aspects of long-term treatment plans to support clients in all stages of the crisis.

The outpatient program is designed for clients who are stable and don’t require constant supervision for their symptoms. During participation in the outpatient program, clients visit the facility regularly to engage in recovery activities. These typically include therapy (individual and group) and peer recovery activities.

RI International provides both transitional and permanent housing solutions for those in recovery. Those who qualify also receive case management, transportation, living support, and other wrap-around services.

Since in network and out of network benefits can vary, clients should always confirm coverage with their insurance provider before enrolling in a treatment program.

Heart icon Treatment at RI International

book iconAlcoholism

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.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

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.

head-side-medical iconDual Diagnosis

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.

file-medical iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

prescription-bottle-pill iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care at RI International

car-building 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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

Group Therapy

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.

Couples Therapy

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

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.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Are these people even doctors? They sure don't seem like they are! They are so unprofessional, and the only thing they care about is money, hated this place.

I was a patient. First involuntary and then voluntary. There are issues, but they deal with a lot. I was an absolute handful. I think I have bi-polar, multiple personalities, and schizophrenia too. I wasn t harmful to any employees (Thank God) but I broke down into fighting stances a couple times because my beliefs of what I was going through weren t correct. I yelled at employees, I blamed them for trying to calm me down, because it just wasn t possible. The only thing that could cure me was time in a safe environment which they provided. I was an absolute menace, especially on my second visit, and I appreciate you guys for taking me in, caring for me the best you could, and sheltering me and other people from what could have happened if I wasn t in your care. Thank you RI.

This was good agency that supported their clients, had good groups to help in are recovery, then they hired a new person right before COVID and now I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone if you want people who support your recovery or groups or activities that will help improve your life don't go here.

This place is only there for money! They don't care and will do anything to keep you in that facility so they can bill you. Be careful when you send your loved one in there because you might not hear back

My experience has been awful. Very few people call back or respond. The place in washington state doesn't even have a working phone for its guests. I call to check on my son and they give me the run around. (even though I have full access) I have tried contacting cooperate and get no response. If I only knew I would have requested that grant county not send anyone to this place.

It has a subtle yet unmistakable leftist political undertone such as leftist political slogans decorating the wall. This is probably unethical and not appropriate (especially if they recieve Federal State or local funding).

These people are total fraudulent people. I have no desire to go back to this gas lighting, hopeless poor excuse for recovery place. I have selected another canidate for my recovery and this place will not be missed. I once trusted this place in hopes of reliability,but not any more.

Although I have not attended Recovery Innovations in AZ, I have however had the pleasure and opportunity to have trainings with a remarkable staff individual, Terence Smithers. Recovery Innovations not only offer amazing recovery and wellness groups, but they also offer one on one services for on those "I HATE MY LIFE" moments. Fourteen years ago I took my first step into a group. NEVER in dreams did I ever think I would be back to work let alone be in this world. Here I am, 14 years later, Administration Manager for a non profit organization, doing what I love to do.... working with individuals who are on the road to working on their wellness and recovery. Thank you Recovery Innovations, the struggle was real, but the outcome is breathtaking.
