The Meadows

The Meadows is a multi-disorder facility specializing in the treatment of trauma and addictions. The Meadows' clinical experts reach beyond single-level treatment of addictions, behavioral disorders and psychological conditions to diagnose and treat the underlying problems. Intensive treatment focuses on:

Addiction to alcohol and drugs.
Compulsive behaviors such as eating, gambling, work, sex, love addiction/avoidance and codependence.

Mood disorders including bipolar disorder and depression.

Anxiety disorders including post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder

The Meadows is licensed as a Level I Psychiatric Acute Hospital by the Arizona Department of Health Services through the Office of Behavioral Health Licensing. We are licensed to provide psychiatric, detoxification, and substance abuse services. The Meadows is accredited through The Joint Commission with full standards compliance.

The Meadows' comprehensive treatment program was created by Pia Mellody, a pioneer in the field of recovery. The Meadows is located in Wickenburg, Arizona, approximately an hour north of Phoenix in the high Sonoran Desert, with mountain views and clear skies.

Treatment

Primary care at The Meadows is specifically designed for each individual as a holistic program treating emotions, body, mind and spirit. The intensive treatment is 12-Step-based and enhanced by a unique, comprehensive program developed at The Meadows. Continuing care assistance, alumni support and on-campus educational/reaffirmation workshops support the recognition that recovery is a continuing journey.

Treatment at The Meadows is personalized to meet individual needs. A multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists and professional counselors work cooperatively and consistently with total dedication in the best interest of each patient. Medical and nursing services provide initial care and continuing support.

Many programs treat only the symptoms of addiction. By focusing on the roots of individual patient disorders, The Meadows’ staff identifies and addresses the core patterns that have caused continual return to self-destructive behaviors.

Continuing care, the vital factor in the long-term success of recovery, begins with admission and is interwoven throughout treatment to provide a supportive transition to the home environment.

Recovery

Recovery is a path that many of the staff members personally walk. Their understanding and respect for each patient’s pain and despair come from their own histories and subsequent recoveries.

A goal-oriented treatment schedule is customized around each patient’s personal progress in recovery. Therapeutic approaches include small group sessions, intensive boundary work, individual psychiatric sessions, topic groups, educational videos, recreational and art therapy, spirituality counseling, nutritional consultation, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, community meetings and 12-Step recovery. Peer support and interaction are integral parts of The Meadows’ healing process.

Treatment may combine other successful therapeutic approaches, including experiential work, grief sessions and family participation programs, as patients learn to change destructive patterns and achieve more fulfilling lives.
