Getting started on the recovery road is often the biggest hurdle

Buena Vista Health and Recovery Centers understands that getting started with substance abuse treatment is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to recovery. They are a medically-managed drug and alcohol treatment center with locations in Scottsdale, Chandler, and Tucson, Arizona and Loveland, Colorado. From detox to discharge, their patient-centered treatment campuses provide highly-rated addiction treatment and counseling services for those struggling with substance use disorders.

They provide a full range of proven treatment services including: medically monitored detox, inpatient residential, intensive outpatient (IOP), outpatient (OP), medication assisted treatment (MAT), primary care, and telemedicine.

With a focus on financial security, effective coping skills, positive decision making, personal care, and more, they ensure each patient is equipped with the tools they need to create a fulfilling life.
