Fountain Hills Recovery

Fountain Hills is first class! The clinicians and management care about their clients and work hard to communicate with the families. Going into recovery comes with all kinds of challenges that I knew nothing about and they help families and their clients navigate these bumpy waters. I’m so grateful for the first loving and caring interaction through the months that followed. I would highly recommend this team to help someone you care about.

Fountain Hills gave me the tools to succeed in my life, sober. Life changing experience, gained 50 lbs of healthy weight here while I detoxed and got on the right medications as well as experiencing group and 1 on 1 therapy. Sandy, Steve, Linda, Tony, Nedd, Kevin and ALL the staff here are so compassionate and love what they do because they been where we've been. If you have mental health concerns, substance or alcohol dependency then this place can give you the tools too! This place is not a vacation home, it's a safe space to do the work to save your mind, body and spirit.

5/15/24 Thank you fountain hills for aiding me on the excruciating journey called Recovery I was so broken and lost believed i was unworthy seeking for years,,,, my truth,,,,my sanity my reason for living my reason to believe the start of humanity actually begins with ME I am only halfway of your program in place 120 days, I WILL find my grace to be continued, this thanks will come back again on my graduation day to speak my words of wisdom the staff did help me find a love for the world ONE peer at a time. 7/5/24 I was able to calm my mind today when things didn’t go my way. Sat in the shower to think, do I want to be miserable in the god forsaken heat, or offer other ideas of my intended Six Flags retreat. I have you Fountain Hills Recovery to thank for this feat! Something I could not do prior to a 93 day mental health retreat. The person I am, leaving on graduation day, is someone who found love for herself and humanity, a peace of mind and return of her sanity. To hear versions of the monster inside, warnings passed along of the RAGE I was consumed with in every corner of my mind. demonstrations of tantrums, kicking and screaming, running home and back again demanding control, I thought should be mine. Your staff never once gave up on me, they sat patiently until sanity returned at a later time. Always offering words of wisdom, gentle reminders, it gets better with time. I admit my side of crazy, but i thought YOU ALL were crazy instead, time was not a friend of mine, we’re not even on the same side. INSANITY was what i was plagued with instead, wisdom of truth I had to go seek, destruction be dead How was it possible for me to find acceptance when at times i thought i was better off dead, because of the hell I was living inside my head. Through current use Dr. Robbie offered me, technology put together with cognitive therapy. Through use of TMS and Ketamine a swab inside my cheek told him what meds to tweak. FINALLY placed on the right meds! I now sleep peacefully, my racing thoughts are now dead. When words of self destruction start filtering through my head, By a MONSTER that was created from a traumatic child’s bed. Playing with dolls were meant to be, a wonderful childhood memory, even though that wasn’t meant for me. I can now physically hold each version; inner child, adpaptive- rebellious teen, and adult me, followed by my MONSTER KILLER, whose pink with white gnarly teeth. ;> Krista my therapist helped me break the molds, through a mock trial, group sessions and breaking down my brick walls. Finally purging the poison I held inside my little broken soul, I gave up, I let go, Surrendering my attempt to control. The treatment team are ROCKSTARS who help us who believe we are damned. I promise it all makes sense in the end, once you surrender and listen to them. To the wisdom that comes from years of personal sabotage they too once lived inside their own heads. THANK YOU AGAIN for helping me. I am in love with this version of me on the long road ahead, MY RECOVERY!

I’ve waited to write this review, but I’m finally there. We have such a unique situation, and I think my daughter was a wild card in terms of testing their limits, but it’s been over a year now, and I feel very confident that they have delivered! My daughter has borderline personality disorder, and when I set out to find a facility, I was looking for specific things. We wanted a place where she could come off of all the medications she was put on by other doctors, believing that not only were they wrong for her, but any hope for of accurately diagnosing her would be impossible, because other doctors had put her on so much that it became medicating side effects of medication for other side effects and so on. Borderline is not a chemical imbalance, but she’s on only one medication now that really makes getting through the ups and downs of healing easier for her. While Fountain Hills Recovery has a strong focus on addiction, we chose them for their mental health setup. We wanted everything under one roof, so the person in charge of medication is in sync and in communication with the counselors and other staff. I think the States have it wrong in how they address mental health, but they have it dialed in here. We sent her there to begin detox just after Christmas, and over a year later she is still moving in the right direction. I finally have hope for my daughter’s future. For the first time in her life, I have a daughter that I miss when she’s gone and can’t wait for her to get home. This is something I could only dream about, now I’m watching her become an amazing young woman. She has worked so hard to get here (and there’s still more work to come,) but I give so much credit to Fountain Hills Recovery for making it possible. They got her on the right path. One of the most important things that she needed, that other facilities totally failed in, was seeing us through the transition process. They didn’t medicate and “graduate” her, then send her on way and wish us luck. They helped her find a new counselor, and then actually communicated with that counselor. They cared enough to make sure she was set up for success beyond them. I am beyond impressed and grateful. They knocked this one out of the park. One hiccup we had… After the first week in the program, I made an incredibly difficult decision to bring her home , and opted for PHP from home. I like to think as her mother, I knew what she was capable of, and what she needed. So she came home against medical advice, but I still believe it was the right call ONLY for her. The only reason I mention it is not to say that this was a good move, but this is important I believe… they had the ability to see, and adjust their program to our needs. She wasn’t there for addiction, and they were able to change HER program to fit HER. On a personal note, the coordinator, Sandy, is tough where she needs to be, and soft in just the right ways. She’s understanding and communicative, and definitely has her finger on the pulse of that place. She’s easy to get ahold of, and immediately heard and addressed everything concern and question. Stephanie was her counselor, and she is everything you want in a counselor. Willing to tell us things we may not love hearing, but in a very compassionate and caring way. We had a few family sessions with her, and she saw me a few times because if ma and pa aren’t right, how can we possibly help our daughter? Holly loves and respects her so much, she pops in every week to say hi. She’ll be so disappointed if Stephanie ever leaves. Dr Robbie managed her medications, and still manages it today. I feel like he knows what he’s doing, and hears your concerns. He was on board with what we wanted, needed, asked for, and then absolutely delivered. Everyone there did! ADVICE: Communication is absolutely essential. Everyone there listens and actually hears you! Communicate your fears and concerns right out of the gate. They know no two people are the same, and if you express your needs, they will make adjustments if they’re needed according to your situation.
