Our Inpatient Rehab Tucson Services

The Residential Treatment Programs Offered at Catalina Behavioral

What sets one inpatient holistic health center apart from another? It’s not just the evidence-based therapies or offering beautiful rooms and a gorgeous setting. Quality care and a range of available services can be the differentiator that determines if a residential program will meet one’s long-term recovery needs. When looking for inpatient rehab, Tucson, AZ is a prime location for behavioral health.

Why? Because Catalina Behavioral Health calls Tucson, Arizona’s second-largest city, home. We hold Joint Commission -accreditation and provide services for more than substance abuse treatment. We offer a full continuum of care. Our team can assist you with most mental health disorders, including treatment for gambling addictions, behavioral health concerns, and mood disorders.

Read on to discover why our clients and their family members have benefitted from the evidence-based treatment programs at our Tucson, Arizona, location, and how you or your loved one can join us for residential services unmatched in the Grand Canyon State!

Tucson, Arizona, Is a Place of Unmatched Beauty

Tucson, Arizona, is hard to beat if you love outdoor recreational activities! From the picturesque mountains (the Catalina Mountains, the inspiration for our name) to the sweeping views of the Sonoran Desert, you will find inspiration to live a healthier life.

If you are flying in from outside Tucson, Arizona, look for native roadrunners and the majestic Saguaro cactus that dot the desert as you make the 17-mile trip from the airport to our behavioral health treatment center.

One of Arizona’s Top Drug Addiction Treatment Centers and Much More

A past client, an avid mountain climber named Garrett, once told his Catalina therapist how he found inpatient rehab in Arizona a bit like a base camp when on a climbing trip. The base camp is a necessity for survival. It’s where climbers can replenish their food and rest before scaling to the summit.

To the client, base camp is the foundation. It’s where climbers can get first aid for an injury or acclimatize to changing altitudes. It’s a secure, structured environment that gives climbers all the support they need as they ascend to greater heights.

Garrett likened the support of the base camp to a recovery center, where one can ascend to great heights on their recovery journey.

Whether you struggle with drugs, alcohol abuse, behavioral disorders, compulsive disorders, or trauma, we are the “base camp” that will give you that next foothold as you continue to climb higher.

5 Key Benefits of Receiving Inpatient Mental Health Services

For those who have the most comprehensive mental health needs, inpatient care provides several benefits:

1. You are in a structured environment where you don’t face the distractions or stresses of daily life.
2. From entering medical detox until becoming a program alumni, 24/7 medical and emotional support awaits you.
3. Comprehensive treatment options using evidence-based methods will improve mental health and change behaviors.
4. Peer support groups, or group counseling, are where you meet others who understand and share your struggles without judgment.
5. Learning new coping skills at an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab helps you replace harmful habits with better ways to deal with triggers.

Mental health and substance abuse treatment in a residential program setting can be the best recovery for those with the most urgent needs.

Mental Health Assessment Program

All clients in Catalina’s behavioral health treatment programs will have a comprehensive mental health assessment. Whether you need help for a complex mental illness, alcohol rehab, or a dual diagnosis that encompasses both, you will receive this care.

The information we learn through this process is valuable. Some addiction treatment centers in Tucson, AZ, will provide services but skip this essential step. The mental health assessment helps us fully customize your care at our treatment center.

Our Inpatient Rehab Tucson Offers Trauma Treatment Programs

Many people live with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and don’t realize that treatment programs can help reduce the stress that comes from living with a traumatic past.

We can help you with treatments that help reframe past events to lessen their impact.

Helping Veterans With Extreme Trauma

We helped Nikki, who retired from David-Monthan Air Force Base and decided to stay in Tucson, Arizona – she laughed about how it was much warmer than her hometown of Detroit. Her jokes masked a deep pain. Like many veterans, Nikki had witnessed some horrifying events that haunted her long after Desert Storm.

They became so horrible that she began abusing her Xanax prescription by mixing it with alcohol. With evidence-based techniques, we helped Nikki regain control of those memories and rebuild her life after service.

Inpatient Residential Treatment for Behavioral Health Issues

When you need behavioral health treatment, outpatient services are not always sufficient. We have successfully treated clients with the following:

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Eating disorders
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Major depressive disorders
• PTSD and Complex PTSD

Our residential program in Tucson, Arizona, can help restore balance and help people lead better lives by balancing medication management, counseling and therapeutic treatment, and coping/life skills.

Successful Treatment for Selena, Who Had an Eating Disorder

Our former client, Selena, came to us with an eating disorder. Coming home to Tucson, AZ, for summer break, her parents were worried about her weight loss. Selena’s teeth and skin also looked unwell. After they confronted her, Selena admitted that she had been using methamphetamines to curb her appetite and increase her metabolism. After all, she attended college at a place that made Newsweek’s list of top party schools, so she had easy access.

A trip to the doctor brought worse news – Selena’s heartbeat was abnormal from the drug use. The doctor advised her that one of the top treatment centers in Tucson, AZ, was right up the street – Catalina. Her parents arranged for an emergency admission.

Selena learned behavioral techniques and self-affirmations to help her learn to accept her body and stop using meth. She also enjoyed the nutritional services, which served gourmet meals that were light but still satisfying.

By fall, Selena had returned to a healthy weight. She found a SMART Recovery group near her university for ongoing support and visits a psychologist at her university for ongoing treatment.

Learning to Manage Severe Depression and Anxiety

Countless clients have come to Catalina asking for treatment for severe depression or anxiety, two common dual-diagnosis conditions that raise the risk of abusing substances. Our approach is custom-fit to match the needs of each individual in our treatment programs.

Managing depressed feelings and anxiety disorder often means individual counseling, group therapy, and family therapy. No two clients are alike, and we will treat you or your family member with the greatest respect and care.

They Weren’t the Life of the Party, They Had a Depressive Disorder

We helped Chris, who struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. It turned out that their addiction issues arose from an undiagnosed depressive disorder. Chris had always been described by loved ones as a “changeling,” happy one moment and unconsolable the next.

Because even family members didn’t express any concern about the mood swings, Chris took matters into their own hands and started abusing alcohol and drugs – alternating illicit stimulants and depressants – to cope with life.

Our treatment center counselors helped Chris better understand the underlying causes of addiction. Chris excelled at art therapy and found it very calming. After leaving the drug and alcohol rehab, Chris even pursued their dream of becoming an entertainer.

Our Gambling Addiction Treatment Center in Tucson, Arizona

Drug and alcohol addiction and gambling are frequent co-morbidities. They share certain risk factors, such as triggering dopamine. Like drugs, casinos are a form of escapism. You leave your car and enter a world of shimmering lights, tantalizing sites, and sounds.

Both substance abuse and problematic gambling activities still stimulate the brain’s reward center, giving participants a false sense of well-being.

Gambling and Alcohol Rehab Go Hand-in-Hand

Jarrod came to our addiction treatment center with a gambling addiction. It started as a guy’s night out with his buddies once a month. But he looked forward to it so much that he started going alone more and more often. He didn’t think it could hurt – certainly, the government wouldn’t allow the Tucson, AZ, area to have three casinos if it were harmful. Would they?

Jarrod’s weekly play turned to mounting losses. He lost his job because the crushing debt he’d incurred was a daily distraction. Finally, he was evicted because he couldn’t afford rent. The loved one who had never failed him – his mom – let him sleep on the couch in her small apartment. However, she gave him an ultimatum to seek treatment for his gambling addiction or leave, but he refused. She called 911 one night when he threatened self-harm.

Our treatment options helped him improve his overall wellness and restored his brain’s reward system to its proper “setting” after the world of gambling. Today, Jarrod has found a new job and is saving money for a rent deposit to leave his mom’s apartment.

Overcoming Drug and Alcohol Addiction in Tucson, AZ

We use evidence-based substance abuse treatment in our inpatient treatment center. The impact of drug and alcohol abuse is a heavy weight to carry. Many who have a substance use disorder diagnosis also have co-occurring disorders.

Our well-credentialed counselors leave no stone unturned in seeking the cause of drug and alcohol use. Once we find the trigger for the addiction, we use behavioral health treatment methods, such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to pick apart the addiction.

Treatment for Omar, Where He Could Focus on a Painkiller Problem

We did this successfully with Omar, a young man who came to our drug rehab programs addicted to prescription painkillers. He had been in an unfortunate accident that left him with severe damage to his neck and back. The surgeon who operated on his spine prescribed opioid pills, which he assured Omar were common for many back surgery patients.

Omar, who had never used illicit drugs or even sipped alcohol, became increasingly reliant on the medicines. He confessed his drug use to his family, who provided spiritual support and prayed with him. However, they could not understand the intensive level of addiction.

He learned about the inpatient program at Catalina from a friend. Drug and alcohol rehab was very hard work. Still, Omar worked every second he was there, from medical detox at our partner facility, through counseling until he joined support groups after leaving the facility. Now, he’s part of an alumni program and helps others.

When Is Outpatient Treatment Appropriate?

While the focus of this page is inpatient treatment for substance abuse, trauma, and other services, it’s also important to share a little information about outpatient treatment.

Not everyone needs inpatient treatment, nor is it appropriate for all clients. We offer two levels of outpatient care at our Tucson, AZ facility: our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). These behavioral health treatment offerings can help adults who have family, career, or school commitments that would deter them from getting the care or addiction treatment they need.

We Work with Most Group and Private Insurance Carriers

We believe that everyone should have fair access to drug and alcohol rehab. We work with most insurance companies – group, private, and some forms of AHCCCS for outpatient care. We also proudly take care of our Armed Forces by accepting Tricare.

Connect with our admissions team, they will help leverage your benefits so you can get the services you need – from inpatient care to group counseling to planning for a lifetime in recovery.
