After 35 years of drinking I HAD to put myself through treatment. I tried to quit on my own but only got sick. Never been through a program before but glad it was here. Staff and counselors were very good and easy to talk to. Meals were good n plenty and then some. Thank you for helping me get my life back on track.

It feels impossible for me to adequately put into words what Phoenix Rising and their staff means to me. It’s been 9 months since I arrived there, totally broken, hopeless, scared, sick, sad, and ashamed. I was on the verge of death, either by suicide or my failing health due to my addiction and total breakdown. And now, I have hope, I have sobriety, and my life back. Their program is so special and so well rounded. They think outside of the box with their treatment and make mindful accommodations when necessary. Aside from the usual offerings of therapy, trauma work, 12 step meetings and sober fun days outside of the facility, there is meditation and sound baths, misc outings (hello mani pedi day and softball) and hiking, beautiful pools to swim in, art therapy, writing therapy, and so much more. You learn the science and psychology of addiction, trauma and recovery. You are fed delicious food. Most importantly, you are surrounded by a staff who cares so much. Whomever is responsible for their hiring has a true gift for choosing the right people. If you’re reading this and wondering, please go. Go to this safe, healing place. Go with an open heart, open mind, and willingness. Save yourself. Save your life. Heal. Learn. Grow. Thank you Genevieve, for being the incredible backbone of the facility. Thank you Candice, for being my mama goose- for your warm hug and telling me “you’re home now. You’re safe” as I exited the car crying and defeated on my arrival. Thank you Brie, Chelsi, Jordan, Meditation Mark, and Michelle. I remember and cherish you all. I’m so thankful for you. I’m doing well guys!!! I’m hiking and dreaming and working and cherishing all the things I love!!! I am alive.

My kiddo spent time at Phoenix Rising in 2025. The staff was attentive and caring and was continually going the extra mile. The rehab home was very nice and comfortable. My kiddos shared that he had the best therapist he has ever had and he’s had quite a few. The drug and alcohol counselor was also outstanding. Highly recommend!
Detox Programs

What is Prescription Drug Detox?

Detox from prescription drugs involves allowing the body to rid itself of the toxins accumulated during addiction. This process is crucial for preparing the individual for further treatment and recovery. At Phoenix Rising Recovery, we provide a safe, supportive, and medically supervised environment to help our patients detox from prescription medications comfortably.

The Dangers of Street-Bought, Counterfeit or Pressed Prescription Drugs (Fent Pills)

The threat of buying prescription drugs off the street has increased significantly. According to the DEA, 7/10 illegal or ‘counterfeit’ prescription drugs tested contained a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl (fent pills). These street-bought drugs are often pressed pills rather than pharmaceutically created pills, leading to unpredictable and dangerous outcomes. Fent pills, being 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, poses a significant risk of overdose and death when mixed with other substances.

The DEA had seized 156.7 million lethal doses worth of fent in prescription pills in 2024 as of June 2024. In 2023, the DEA seized over 70 million Fent laced pills, which was an increase from the 58 million seized in 2022.

See Fentanyl Detox for more information.

Why Detox from Prescription Drugs?

Prescription drug detox is essential for several reasons:

  • Safety: Withdrawal symptoms from prescription drugs can be severe and potentially life-threatening, depending on the drug. Medical supervision ensures the process is as safe and comfortable as possible. Medical supervision during detox increases the chance of success in preventing relapse significantly.
  • Preparation for Treatment: Detox is the first step in the recovery process, allowing individuals to begin treatment with a clear mind and body. When you are ready to enter into detox, you’ve actively made the decision that you do not want to be enslaved to a substance anymore. This is a critical phase of the recovery process and will help you begin treating prescription drug addiction to live life freely.
  • Preventing Relapse: Proper detox reduces the chances of relapse by managing withdrawal symptoms effectively. After detox, you will be able to enter into a complete recovery program of either abstinence or MAT (medically-assisted treatment). This is where you will learn the tools and skills to use to avoid relapse and treat the underlying causes of addiction, helping you find a life free from the hardships of addiction.
