How to Choose the Right Addiction Rehab Center

The River Source wants to make choosing an addiction rehab center for you or a loved one as simple as possible. If you’re unsure what qualities to look for in a program or are struggling to find one that aligns with your needs, read on to learn what you should consider and expect from your rehab.

Proven Staff Expertise

Accreditation, Licensing and Certifications

A reputable, reliable treatment center will be accredited by The Joint Commission or the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF®). Since each state has unique licensing requirements, you should also look for state licensing to understand a treatment center’s value and expectations. You can count on The River Source for reputable, high-quality care: we’re accredited through the Joint Commission, licensed through the Department of Health Services (DHS), and certified by LegitScript.

Staff credentials and licenses prove that those providing your care have the training and experience to help you start your recovery journey the right way. To ensure you receive the professional, empathetic care you deserve, each of our therapists has at least a master’s degree, and many are independently licensed as a LISAC, LASAC, LPC, or LCSW by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Our clinicians are up to Ph.D. level educated and hold specialized certifications such as EMDR.

Trustworthy and legitimate treatment centers include a multidisciplinary team covering a broad range of specialties that target your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Although you should be cautious of centers with staff members wearing too many hats, you don’t have to worry about that at The River Source. With a target clinician to client ratio of 1:10, our large team consists of:

  • NMD’s (Naturopathic Medical Doctors)
  • Registered Nurses
  • Licensed Master or Independent Licensed Clinicians
  • Medical Doctors
  • Psychiatrist
  • Psychologist
  • Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners
  • Massage Therapist

  • 12-Step Programming

Ability to Accommodate Your Needs

Mental Health Services

Many people struggling with addiction have a co-occurring mental disorder, like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. For effective treatment and accurate diagnoses, look for a program that treats both addiction and mental conditions. The River Source is proud to offer various mental health services, including:

Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment
Medication Management
Psychopharmacology
Mental Health Counseling
Psychiatry
Treatment for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, and Other Mental Illnesses.

For additional trust and peace of mind, look for a treatment center consistently measuring the success rates and outcomes of clients. The River Source uses Joint Commission accredited outcome surveys to monitor the success of our clients during and after treatment to give our teams feedback regarding our approach to client care, evaluate the success of our clients, and test the efficacy of our programs.

Treatment centers are not only an investment in sobriety, but also in overall health and wellbeing. To lower the cost, look for programs in-network with your insurance. The River Source is in-network with all major insurance carriers to greatly reduce potential out-of-pocket costs and eliminate expensive out-of-network fees. In addition to greatly reducing the cost of treatment, being in-network means that the insurance company is recommending our programs to their members. To be in-network, The River Source has met or exceeded all treatment quality standards put forth by the insurance company. In-network status is another valuable way to feel confident in selecting a high-quality treatment provider.

Medical Detox or Medication-Assisted Therapies When going through withdrawal, it’s essential to have nurses and physicians on site to ease you through the delicate detoxing period. To monitor your health and help you through your recovery process, The River Source is proud to offer the following medical treatments: MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment) Medication Management Medication-Assisted Tapers Conventional & Naturopathic medicine Detox medications for comfort and safety Anti-Craving Medication Psychiatric Consultation Naturopathic Consultation

Preparation for Life in Recovery

Specialized Programs
Since everyone struggling with addiction requires different treatment, drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities shouldn’t offer a cookie-cutter approach to care. From style to duration, it’s key to find a program that can be tailored to your needs. We leave no stone left unturned, offering a variety of specialty services like naturopathic medicine, 12-step modality, and continuing care to help you achieve sobriety with the tools, and at the pace, that will help you lead a happy life in recovery.

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan — that’s why The River Source offers a 120-day full continuum of care. Our model lets us individualize treatment plans based on the needs of each client.

  • Detox: 24/7 intensive medical & clinical support in closed campus environment
  • Residential: 24/7 medical & clinical support in closed campus environment
  • PHP: 36-40 hours per week of medical and clinical support at an outpatient facility
  • IOP: 9-10 hours per week of clinical support at one of our outpatient locations
  • Lifetime Alumni Program: Lifelong support and camaraderie with our team and alumni

To prevent relapse, it’s important to have a strong support system you can rely on after you leave treatment — that’s why The River Source offers a robust alumni program. We keep a well-established line of communication with our alumni to stay connected and involved in their recovery journey. Our alumni and team also host weekly, monthly, and quarterly events that focus on fellowship and having fun in recovery. For those that need extra support, we also offer referral services.

Addiction affects the entire family: it’s important to find a treatment center dedicated to helping you build trust and set boundaries. The River Source defines family as anyone who is supportive of our clients’ recovery. To educate and involve family, we’re happy to provide the following family services:

  • Family education at all levels of care
  • Family program with two modules
  • Referrals provided to family members to seek outside support
  • Counseling session with client if recommended by primary therapist
