How do you treat dual diagnosis / co-occurring disorders?
Yes, Red Rock offers integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders. Their trauma-informed approach combines individual/group therapy, evidence-based practices like EMDR and CBT, and medication management by a board-certified psychiatrist to address both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously.
Does this program use the 12-Steps, SMART Recovery, or other models?
The program incorporates 12-Step facilitation as a core component of its treatment model. There is no mention of SMART Recovery or Celebrate Recovery on their website.
Is the program faith-based?
No, Red Rock Recovery Center's program is not explicitly faith-based. It is a clinical program that incorporates spiritual components through mindfulness, yoga, and 12-Step principles, which can be adapted to any belief system.
How long has this facility been open?

Cost & Admission
What will my costs be for treatment?
Costs vary based on the level of care and insurance coverage. Estimated self-pay rates are around $29,000 for a 30-day residential stay and $5,000 for IOP. They offer a sliding fee scale and payment assistance for eligible clients. Contact admissions for a precise quote.
