Addiction isn’t a character flaw or a failure of willpower. It’s a medical condition — one that rewires the brain’s reward pathways and grows harder to break without professional support.
You may have tried to stop on your own. You may have made promises to yourself or to the people you love, and felt ashamed when substance use started again. That cycle isn’t failure. It’s what addiction does.
Our physician-led team treats the full spectrum of substance use disorders and the conditions that often come with them — anxiety, depression, PTSD, and unresolved trauma. Evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and EMDR address root causes, while holistic practices restore the body alongside the mind.
With never more than five residents at a time, your care is genuinely individualized. Scottsdale’s warmth and natural beauty aren’t incidental — they’re part of how healing happens here.

Residential addiction treatment means you live at the facility for the duration of your program. Outpatient programs involve scheduled therapy sessions before returning home each day — the same environments, routines, and habits that often fuel addiction. Residential treatment surrounds you 24/7 with a community and a lifestyle built around recovery instead.

Our comprehensive treatment programs address all forms of substance use disorders with specialized care designed specifically for your unique needs and experiences.
Not all residential treatment programs are the same. Scottsdale Serenity is a private, intimate facility — limited to just five residents at a time — where every detail of your care is intentional. From our expert clinical team to our insurance-friendly admissions process, we’ve built an environment where serious recovery is not just possible, but expected.
Our residential addiction treatment program in Scottsdale combines evidence-based clinical therapies with whole-person wellness practices — because lasting recovery requires healing the mind, body, and the root causes that made substance use feel necessary.
Identify and restructure the thought patterns that drive substance use, and build healthy coping skills for triggers and cravings.
Address unresolved trauma that often underlies addiction — using this clinically validated, powerful approach to healing.
Develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills that reduce reliance on substances as a coping mechanism.
Share your journey with others who truly understand. Facilitated group sessions build community, accountability, and connection in recovery.
Restore balance and inner peace through mindful movement and meditation practices woven throughout your daily schedule.
Immerse in soothing sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance energy, and enhance emotional well-being.
Chiropractic care addresses the physical dimension of recovery — something that other programs often overlook entirely.
We know you have questions — and you deserve clear, honest answers. Below are the ones we hear most often from people considering residential addiction treatment in Scottsdale.
You live at the facility full-time, removed from triggers and stress, with 24/7 clinical support — outpatient lets you go home each day but can’t match that level of focus or structure.
Residential treatment means you live at the facility for the duration of your program — removed from the triggers, stress, and environments that fuel substance use. Residential programs follow a more consistent daily rhythm, helping create stability and routine, while outpatient options offer greater flexibility so you can continue managing work, family, and other responsibilities alongside care. For most people dealing with moderate to severe addiction, residential gives you the focused time and clinical support that outpatient simply can’t replicate.
All major substance use disorders — alcohol, opioids, benzos, stimulants, prescription drugs, and polysubstance abuse — plus co-occurring mental health conditions and trauma.
Our comprehensive treatment programs address all forms of substance use disorders, including opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, benzodiazepine addiction, stimulant addiction, prescription drug addiction, and polysubstance abuse. We also address co-occurring disorders including depression and anxiety, PTSD and trauma, and bipolar disorder, as well as trauma-informed care for childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault recovery, and complex PTSD.
30 days minimum, with 60–90 days recommended for the best long-term outcomes. Your plan is individualized based on your needs.
Treatment length varies based on individual needs, but research consistently shows that longer treatment leads to better long-term outcomes. For residential care, the minimum recommendation is 30 days, with optimal outcomes typically achieved at 60–90 days. We create individualized plans based on addiction severity, mental health needs, and personal goals — some people benefit from shorter intensive programs, while others with complex trauma or co-occurring disorders do better with extended care.
Structured but balanced — individual therapy, group sessions, evidence-based treatment, and holistic wellness, with time built in for rest and reflection.
A typical day is thoughtfully structured to support healing while allowing time for rest and personal reflection. Residential programs follow a more consistent daily rhythm, helping create stability and routine. Days include individual therapy, group therapy sessions, and evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR, along with holistic wellness activities like yoga, meditation, and aquatic sound bowl therapy.
Yes — we specialize in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing addiction and mental health simultaneously.
We specialize in dual diagnosis treatment, and our integrated approach treats both conditions simultaneously — because addressing only addiction without treating underlying mental health issues often leads to relapse. Common co-occurring conditions we treat include depression and anxiety disorders, PTSD and complex trauma, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, panic disorder, OCD, and self-harm behaviors.
It means your clinical team understands how past trauma drives addiction, and every part of your treatment is built around that — without judgment.
Factors such as trauma, environment, biology, and social pressures can all influence how substance use develops and how healing begins. Our program takes a personalized and trauma-informed approach to care — ensuring every person feels supported, understood, and safe. Your clinical team is trained to recognize how past trauma shapes behavior, and they tailor every aspect of treatment to meet you where you are.
CBT, EMDR, DBT, Group Therapy, and EFT/TFT — a full clinical toolkit targeting thought patterns, trauma, emotional regulation, and peer support.
Our evidence-based therapies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to transform negative thought patterns, EMDR to process and heal from trauma, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build mindfulness and emotional regulation skills, Group Therapy for peer connection and support, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) / Thought Field Therapy (TFT) to reduce stress and negative emotional patterns.
Yoga and meditation, art and music therapy, chiropractic care, and aquatic sound bowl therapy — treating the body and spirit alongside the mind.
Our holistic approaches include Yoga and Meditation to restore balance through mindful movement, Art and Music Therapy to express emotions through creative outlets, and Chiropractic Care to improve alignment, relieve pain, and support overall physical well-being. We also offer Aquatic Sound Bowl Therapy to promote relaxation and emotional balance — addressing the physical and emotional dimensions of recovery that clinical therapy alone doesn’t reach.
Never more than five. That’s not a selling point — it’s a commitment to genuinely individualized care.
We intentionally limit our program to no more than five residents at a time. A smaller program means your clinical team actually knows you, your treatment plan is genuinely individualized, and you’re never just a number. It also means privacy is real, not a policy on paper.
Yes — federally protected under HIPAA, and we cannot share anything about your treatment without your written consent, even with family members.

We cannot share any information about your treatment without your written consent, even with family members.

Insurance coverage for addiction treatment can vary based on your provider, policy details, and the level of care needed. Our admissions specialists can help you understand what services and levels of care your insurance includes, any out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles or copays, in-network vs. out-of-network coverage options, pre-authorization or referral requirements, and flexible payment options if additional support is needed.

We offer alumni programs, peer support groups, and ongoing check-ins to help you maintain your sobriety and build a fulfilling life after treatment. Discharge planning begins at intake — not at the end of your stay — so your transition out of residential is supported every step of the way.
