The Meadows believes in treating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. We offer a variety of complimentary, regulatory activities that enrich the recovery process, including acupuncture, meditation, yoga, tai chi, and mindfulness.

Yes. We are able to safely detox patients on our campus with 24-hour clinical supervision.

The detoxification clears toxins or harmful substances from the body. While detox may initially be uncomfortable, our staff employs a variety of methods to lessen any discomfort while carefully monitoring each patient during the process. Once a patient undergoes detox from alcohol or drugs, they are then ready to begin the psychological journey of recovery. Different addictions call for different treatments. In order to find out what is optimal for you, discuss your situation with a qualified healthcare professional or contact our Admissions Team to find out if you’re a fit for our program. Detox can be dangerous if not supervised by a qualified medical practitioner.

Meadows Behavioral Healthcare programs incorporate individualized therapeutic modalities such as Somatic Experiencing® (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Emotional Freedom Technique, as appropriate.

The Meadows was created as an addiction treatment center more than 40 years ago at a former dude ranch in the Sonoran desert northwest of Phoenix, Arizona. Since that time, we have added programs for eating disorders, sex addiction, love addiction, and young adults. Trauma is also a main component of our treatment approach. Our long history and stellar reputation ensure that we are able to attract the most skilled treatment professionals (who also happen to be caring and compassionate people).

Patients at the Claudia Black Young Adult Center benefit from a multi-disciplinary team of providers, including a psychiatric specialist, a medical doctor, 24-hour nursing, licensed master’s and doctoral level therapists as well as other highly trained professionals.

The Meadows Model of Developmental Immaturity was developed by Senior Fellow Pia Mellody in the 1970s and has become the gold standard for trauma and addiction treatment.

Each of our therapists has a maximum caseload of six patients.

For nearly a decade, the Claudia Black Young Adult Center has been dedicated to supporting young adults and their families, helping countless individuals transform their lives for the better. We’re proud that many of our clients continue their journeys with us, becoming alumni mentors and coaches, which speaks to the strong community we’ve built.

We recognize that treatment for addiction and mental health challenges can be difficult, complex, and, at times, frustrating. Every person’s journey is different, and not all paths are straightforward. Occasionally, clients may leave treatment for various reasons. While we strive to help everyone find the right level of care, some individuals may still be navigating their readiness for structured treatment or next steps, sometimes resulting in a negative review.

It’s important to understand that this does not reflect the overall quality of our services. Many treatment centers experience similar feedback, especially when addressing the complexities of addiction and mental health in young adults. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.
