Step Two Recovery, Gilbert

Treatment Services at Step Two Recovery

The level of care is residential, forty-five days, delivered in a Gilbert home with eight beds. The published weekly structure is specific: group therapy five days a week, individual counseling, treatment planning, parent meetings and twelve-step support meetings in the evenings, with family therapy and addiction counseling also on record. For a teenager that amounts to a tight, consistent routine with family contact built into it.

The staffing description is less specific. Counselors and therapists are referred to without roles or credentials being named, and no medical or psychiatric staffing is described at all, so a parent should ask who holds clinical responsibility, whether a physician or psychiatrist sees residents, and what happens if a young person needs more medical support than a residential house can provide.

There is also no detox at this address and no step-down level listed, so withdrawal management and whatever follows the forty-five days both have to be arranged elsewhere; ask how the program handles both ends of the stay. Admission enquiries go to the Arizona program lead, Josh West, by phone on (602) 597-8022 or by email, and schooling during the stay is another question worth raising early.
