ABOUT SILVER SANDS RECOVERY
Located amidst an expansive desert plain near Prescott, Ariz., Silver Sands Recovery offers residential treatment and gender-separate living facilities for adults seeking recovery from substance use. The facility also offers medically-assisted detoxification services and treatment for co-occurring disorders.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Operating under the disease model of addiction, treatment at Silver Sands is a blend of 12-Step, holistic treatments, and evidence-based treatment modalities. On the first day of treatment, clients attend a 12-step meeting and every day thereafter to quickly immerse clients into the fellowship.
Residential treatment also includes individual and group therapy, psychotherapy, and holistic analysis to determine and minimize connections to clients' sources of misuse of substances. Co-occurring disorder treatment offers trauma resolution to help clients deal with traumatic experiences abetting their issues of substance use.
Family involvement is strongly encouraged, and Silver Sands allows loved ones to join clients' individual therapy sessions once per week via phone. Facetime is available at therapists' discretion.
Near the end of treatment, clients may plan for aftercare treatment and receive assistance with employment searches or college planning. Vocational assistance is only offered at 39% of facilities in the state.
Silver Sands also offers the Sports Division treatment program, a specialized program track for professional, semi-professional, collegiate, and amateur athletes struggling with substance use.
