Desert Recovery Centers (a Joint Commission accredited luxury treatment center in Arizona) is a behavioral health organization specializing in dual diagnosis treatment for addiction and mental health conditions. With a maximum of 10 beds per facility and doctoral-level clinical psychologists on staff, DRC provides highly personalized, evidence-based care.
Desert Recovery Centers operates three Arizona facilities: Glendale (8105 W Frier Dr; residential) at (623) 323-1012, Scottsdale (23222 N Church Rd; residential) at (602) 755-4310, and Phoenix (4160 N. 108th Ave; PHP, IOP, OP, and TMS therapy) at (602) 905-8070. Phoenix sober living housing for outpatient clients is also available at 1623 W Moody Trail. All locations are Joint Commission accredited and staffed by licensed clinical psychologists and a board-certified psychiatrist.
For commercial insurance, Desert Recovery Centers works on an out-of-network basis with major plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Magellan, and others. Many out-of-network plans provide significant coverage for our level of care. We are also in-network with TriCare and TriWest, and offer cash-pay options. Our admissions team will verify your specific benefits at no cost and walk you through what your coverage looks like.
Desert Recovery Centers treats substance use disorders (alcohol, opioids, cocaine, meth, fentanyl, prescription drugs) and mental health conditions (anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, personality disorders, ADHD, schizophrenia). All programs use a dual diagnosis approach that addresses co-occurring conditions simultaneously.
Desert Recovery Centers operates two residential facilities, each with a maximum of 10 beds: Glendale (10 beds, male) and Scottsdale (10 beds, female), for a total residential capacity of 20 beds. Our Phoenix location is an outpatient center (PHP, IOP, OP, and TMS) with no residential beds. This intentionally small residential census ensures high staff-to-client ratios and deeply personalized treatment from doctoral-level clinicians.
