Levels of Care

Outpatient

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

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don't require 24-hour care. Partial Hospitalization program is available for adults and it can be an alternative for a step-down from an inpatient program. Patients meet Monday through Friday, six hours each day, and lunch is included. The typical length of stay is three weeks.

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.

Treatment

Dual 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

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.

Clinical Services

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 (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.

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.

Individual 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.

Motivational Interviewing

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

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.

Family 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.

Recreational Therapy

Many holistic centers incorporate recreational therapy into addiction treatment to offer you a chance to rediscover joy in movement and motion and build social connections. Activities can include dance, group games, and yoga, which all help improve mental health, reduce stress, and develop positive lifestyle habits. These holistic approaches help sustain long term recovery.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Takes very good care of there patients. They do what keeps them safe and gets them better no matter how long it takes or what it takes. Great communication with all staff, nurses and doctors.

Thank you! Your feedback does not go unnoticed, and we are proud of the efforts we ve made toward improving our community.

Breanne Montgomery

My 11 year old daughter was admitted and the facility withheld the medication that essentially keeps her alive for the 2 days she was there despite it being clearly listed on all intake documents that she required it. I had to beg and plead for them to transfer her to banner to get her medically stabilized. Upon arrival at banner her cortisol levels were so low they were undetectable. It could have been a fatal experience had I waited until the next day to demand they transferred her. All the staff clearly showed their lack of care for the situation with their poor attitudes and actions.

Thank you for providing this feedback. Delivering the highest standard of care is our goal, and we want to gain more insights into these concerns. Please reach out to us directly at Feedback@sonorabehavioral.com so that we can discuss this in greater detail.

Thank you Sonora for helping me not go back to mental hospitals because you made my experience so terrible:) I wasn't even admitted fully but the intake and evaluation was enough to know that you shouldn't come to this place or recommend it to someone. Some staff became hostile very quickly and easily, if you weren't anxious or depressed coming in you would be coming out, it took more than 3 hours to even be seen and I was falsely admitted even though I wasn't seen or evaluated, wasn't at risk, I didn't want to go and my mom didn't want me to either and they threatened DCS if we left even though we just wanted to go somewhere else for evaluation. Not to mention it being unsanitary, they literally didn't let us leave in general and because they had our belongings and said something about it being against the law even though IT IS NOT. They just spew random stuff to keep you there unwillingly. The only thing you get out of here is a panic attack and what they take is your time, money, and dignity. I'd give it negative stars if I could.

The paperwork is long a tedious as patience

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We maintain a resolute focus on providing superior services within a safe and welcoming environment.

I know someone who was here over the past week. I called when she was first being admitted and the receptionist said she would take down my name and number and give it to my friend if she was there because I needed a code to speak with her directly and I didn't have it. Understandable as I know they can not confirm nor deny if someone is there. However, I called every single day multiple times a day for 5 days and the phone has not once been picked up since then. Maybe there is no receptionist on the weekend- but literally no one picked up the phone for 5 straight days which I find to be completely unacceptable and unprofessional.

Thank you for offering this feedback. We strive to provide clinically excellent care, and it s important to us that we better understand what you ve shared. Please get in touch with us at Feedback@sonorabehavioral.com so that we can have an in-depth discussion.

Had the most traumatic experience of my life while hospitalized here. I have never written a review but truly feel that I have to warn people. Aside from all the abuse experienced here, they never gave me any of my personal clothes, even once discharged. Had to come back to the hospital to pick up my stuff, half of which had been stolen and they can t account for. All of the staff except for one person was abusive in their power and demeaning and disrespectful to all patients. Dr. Garcia was over medicating me to the point of sedation and despite severe side affects of those medication I was threatened with court ordered treatment rather than a change in medication that didn t make me sick. Not to mention I only ever saw him while being held down in my bed by hospital staff and was never given the opportunity to meet with him. 2 min visits with a counselor that only asks if you want to harm others and then kicks you out. My medical records were shared with family members and people who I had not consented or given a release of information for. I have night terrors I am still in this place and I hope no one s loved ones ever have go through what I did while I was there. Haven t slept soundly since I left months ago.

DONT GO HERE! My sister came out and told us about the nightmare of a time she had, they medicated her and she had a allergic reaction and proceeded to tell her she was being dramatic when she was screaming and crying that she couldn t breathe she could ve died and staff told all the kids not to comfort her when she told us that she needed to be comforted. Also the staff can t handle the job of working here because they get mad and hit the children and throw things when they are bad aka crying because they miss their parents so they ll give them shots to shut up. If you call them to ask about your kid they get snappy and short and hang up, red flag. They watch them while they make calls home to make sure the kids aren t telling in them, another reason why my sister was to scared to tell how she was being treated. For a place to help your mental health, this is NOT it they need new jobs or something because that s ridiculous and VERY unprofessional. 0 stars feels more appropriate:)

Rude staff- bad problem solving

If you are seeking immediate help with a counselor DO NOT GO HERE. I was stuck in their processing room for over SEVEN HOURS, the room was dirty and had blood on the floors.There was only a door that ANYONE could open to separate kids who had also been in processing which is dangerous as hell with some of the people that had been in that room.When one of the girls asked why we could not have "group therapy" outside in the prison like courtyard she was told "if you deserved to be outside you would not be in this place". This was not the first time I had heard the nurses/staff talk to people in such a nasty way. A patient came out of her room (right in front of the nurses station) and went into mine- woke both me and my roomie up with some religious gibberish. I walked out of the room and there was no nurses anywhere. One nurse tried to get snippy with me as to why I was out of my room until I asked why she was in our room and where the other nurses had been. (they had been yammering in their break room)They claim to be worried about covid yet the entire building is disgusting. I had to use a wash cloth and hand soap to wipe down tables before and after I ate as none of the workers could be bothered.This place has such little focus on actually talking with the people and just gives drugs and calls it a day. The group sessions are a joke, they last maybe 10min max and you can't really talk about much as to not trigger others.I was told by a nurse if I wanted out faster to not talk to the other patients there and to stop being nice to them "keep my head down" and pretty much not do anything.The only "activity" for us was crayons and to watch the sports channel the nurses would focus more on then the patients... What the absolute heck is wrong with some of these workers???Nurses will give you medications without you even speaking to a doctor. I managed to speak with a doctor that was covering for the main guy who was gone. He even told me for PTSD this place would do absolutely nothing to help me. I was wrongly sent to this place by a St.Marys doctor who complete lied to me about how this place would help me.This place needs some serious work.Maybe have some ACTUAL activities- and therapists to speak with freely!The staff need training or to seek employment elsewhere. They constantly talk down to people here. I understand the job can be taxing..but even when patients had been nice staff would be rude.I seriously do not recommend this place even slightly.
