How successful
is your program?
We believe we have one of the highest success rates in the world. Results
from an independent research firm showed a 70% success rate, which is
significantly higher than most other facilities around the country. In
addition, most people are successful at beating their addiction with only
one 30-day treatment, instead of the national average of 3-5 treatments.
What is the cost of the residential program?
As of September 1, 2006, the cost of the 30-day program is $26,000. When additional weeks are appropriate
for treatment, the cost is $5,830 per week.
What is the duration of stay for the residential program?
The standard program length is 30 days. The majority of Desert Canyon
clients receive long-term results from the program with just one 30-day
stay at Desert Canyon. In some cases, however, an additional one or two
weeks are appropriate and recommended based on usage history. In such
cases, length of stay is decided by the treatment team along with the
client.
Can someone stay longer than 4 to 6 weeks?
Sometimes factors such as history of chemical dependency, age, psychiatric
history or other variables, suggest that a longer length of stay is needed.
In these situations, a Senior Staff member will work with the client to
assess their needs for an appropriate length of treatment.
What kind of people go to Desert Canyon for treatment?
Desert Canyon helps people 20 years and older, from all walks of life.
All Desert Canyon clients have some level of dependency or addiction to
alcohol, drugs, or prescription drugs. Over the course of time, we help
virtually the same numbers of males and females. The largest age group
is between 31-45 years old and over 55% are employed full-time. A majority
of clients come for alcohol dependence alone or in addition to chemical
dependency for cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and other street drugs. A large
percentage of people have dual diagnosis issues of depression, anxiety
or other psychiatric diagnoses. Desert Canyon’s array of advanced
methods directly addresses these issues, usually with a significant decrease
in symptoms. However, Desert Canyon does not accept people who are severely
mentally ill or people with significant psychiatric history.
More than 50%
of our clients have tried treatment at other residential/inpatient treatment
centers without success prior to coming to Desert Canyon.
Do you accept insurance? Will it pay for my stay?
Desert Canyon requires full payment of the program fees upon admission. However, depending upon what insurance company you have, we will make reasonable efforts to bill your insurance and get reimbursement for your fees for you after you complete your program.
What types of addictions do you treat?
We treat addictions and dependencies to alcohol, prescription drugs, and
street drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, marijuana, and
others. We also have trained staff to work with secondary issues of eating
disorders and gambling.
What kind of detox do you do?
Desert Canyon is not a medical hospital and does not provide medical supervision
or detox services. It is up to the client to get detoxed before arriving
at Desert Canyon. Desert Canyon admissions staff can help make recommendations
regarding what facilities are available in the area.
What is the facility like?
Desert Canyon is a 10-bed facility with a relaxed, homelike environment.
Accommodations are mostly semiprivate with 2 beds per room. There is a
large living room, sunny kitchen, spacious dining room, and a large deck
for relaxing or eating meals. A large Group Room hosts the group sessions,
and an exercise area provides equipment for working out. The facility
is nestled among the gorgeous red rock formations of Sedona which provides
an abundance of hiking trails and other outdoor activities. Sedona, Arizona
is a destination for millions of tourists each year for its beauty.
What are the staff's credentials?
Desert Canyon’s team of highly professional, caring staff includes
Masters and Ph.D. Certified professionals, as well as licensed Addictions
Specialists and Psychologists. It’s secondary staff includes licensed
Physicians, Acupuncturists, Nutritionists, RNs and other professionals
in the healing arts.
Is it a lockdown facility?
No. Desert Canyon's approach is to treat people like adults, while building
their ability to act responsibly. While at first, clients are not allowed
to leave the facility; they are given pass privileges which increase over
time. As they gain more strength in remaining abstinent, they are given
more responsibility. This also helps prepare clients for when they return
home.
