Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Many clients who enroll in an outpatient rehab program are exiting intensive inpatient care and no longer require such high-level clinical supervision. Outpatient programs typically follow a step-down structure, with treatment frequency and intensity decreasing as clients progress in their recovery journey. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care are the most time-intensive and are designed primarily for clients who have just left inpatient treatment or who are at an elevated risk of relapse.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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 iconAftercare

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.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

If you're struggling with adjusting to daily life after inpatient rehab, a sober living home in Arizona may be a good option. These residences offer an in-between option where you can practice the skills you learned in rehab in a structured, drug-free environment. This transition can help you prepare to face the "real world" after treatment. You'll live with others in recovery and follow house rules such as contributing to chores and paying rent.

heart-hands iconIntervention 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.

Our Policy: Sedona Sky Academy: Residential Treatment Rehab Center for Adolescents works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol 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.

drugs 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.

check 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.

mental-health 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.

opium 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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive 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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples 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.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

The active interventions of experiential therapy help you cope with past hurts and difficult memories. They allow you to release negative emotions and change your personal interactions. This type of treatment in Arizona can be helpful for drug addiction, compulsive behaviors, and behavioral disorders.

Sedona Sky Academy Review

Wonderful mental health facility. The staff is warm and welcoming while very professional. Realistic expectations and support. It’s hard to trust a loved one in others hands but sometimes you have no choice and this is a beautiful residence.

I worked as a Youth Mentor over a year ago & due to family passing away in my life I didn't leave a review sooner. I was told I would be given diligent & extensive training on how to work professionally & compassionately with the youth here. Months of training that never happened. I was immediately, first week working there, put in charge of groups of girls that didn't know me & that I didn't understand how to assist or know what to look for to supervise them. I tried reaching out to the person who hired me & no supervisor was around. A young girl self harmed in front of me & I didn't realize it until she came up to me to show me & I got a quick first aid kit to assist her & when the supervisor eventually came back - I told her what happened & she brushed me off. I quit the next day. Not only did that horrific moment happen, but I also had the youngest girl there - around 10 years old, tell me how to supervise the big group of girls while they went to get their medication because the girls would toss it in the bushes. Mind you, the building where they go get their medication was a long walk to a trailer on the property that was half lit and this process happened at night. I was given no explanation other than to release one girl out of the building at a time and they walked over to get their medication. Girls kept asking how long I would stay because everyone kept leaving & there was hardly any staff to manage the big group of girls. When I had my first meeting with the hiring supervisor, she told me that there was "a new owner" & that they were "re-staffing as quickly as possible". I'm a local to the area where this Academy is at & I had heard rumors of that tag line of "there being knew owners & things are imrpoved now" being told to all new hires for years. A new coworker of mine at another local business told me she was going to start working there this year, only 3 months ago & was told all of the same things. If this "new owner" TRULY & sincerely cared for children, they would shut down the company until they had the REQUIRED & proper staffing provided & set up for the young girls to work with, instead of there only being 2 people & asking the chef to look after your children. I dont think families would appreciate knowing that the chef that is part of the staff is left to look after your children. Mind you, a single chef who is UNTRAINED. I think it is incredibly deceiving, cruel, unprofessional, incompetent. unsafe & harmful to keep a business running like this running with little to no staff & with staff who don't do their jobs. I would highly recommend for people to NOT bring their children here, God forbid something terrible happens to them, but the risk if certainly there it saddens me to admit. I had high hopes to help make a difference, only to walk into a nightmare of a situation & seeing young girls going through extreme neglect. It was evident everywhere & people countering & not believing the girls who speak out & dismissing their experiences just because they are "troubled" is disgusting. There is much more that I saw in my brief time there & I brought this to the attention of the hiring supervisor, only for her to say "we deeply apologize, it won't happen again and please give us another chance". I've lived here in the area for 8 years & from time to time, due to inflation I've looked for extra side jobs on Indeed & guess who is always "urgently hiring"? Sedona Sky Academy. They don't keep people because it's a heartbreaking terribly run business that takes advantage of disadvantaged families. And after yet again seeing another slew of job opportunities coming available for this company online that I just came across, it led me to leave this review & now I'm going to make it my mission to report this company. This is THAT serious.

The new owners of the Sedona Sky Academy are working hard every day to make a good place great. As a consultant in behavioral health, I know first-hand that they have a caring program, the students look happy, and the facility is nice. The academy is located on a beautiful 28-acre campus near Sedona with equine therapy, a mountain creek that runs through the property, and plenty of outdoor space to play. With onsite school, help with behavioral health, loving staff, and the beauty of nature, this place is a kids dream.

Dear parents, the best thing you can do for your troubled children is take them to a hospital! Please get professional help for your children.

My daughter was spiraling downward and we had very few options left. SSA accepted her on short notice. We were hesitant but hopeful, and 6 months later she is home and doing better than I could have imagined. The staff has been amazing; frequent communication and to have the open door policy to visit was such a change from her former RTC. It's only been a few weeks since graduating the program but she is doing well. I am thankful for their work with her and recommend for parents and girls who ate struggling.

Sedona SKY Academy is under new ownership and I am very impressed with their nurturing and supportive environment. A lot of the students come to the academy after they have experienced extreme trauma, and majority of their tuition is paid by their insurance company. It is an all-girls academy, they live on campus and attend year round school.

Any 5 star review is fake or written by parents who are brainwashed and blinded by the program. They frequently get rid of their negative reviews and pressure as many people as possible to write positive reviews. I ve been out of the program for 4 years now and I can honestly say Sedona Sky Academy is a money hungry organization that isolates your daughter from society, breaks her down until she is compliant (no matter what it takes), and grows the gap between families. Their goal is not to get your daughter home, but to drain your pockets and keep her there. I and girls I attended SSA with experienced psychological abuse, manipulation, and bullying at the hands of the therapists, teachers, and other staff. If you love your daughter and want to see her get better, these programs are not the route you want to take.
