Virtue Recovery Detox Sun City West is for adults needing medical detox and clinical care for substance use disorders. It likewise treats mental health conditions present at the same time, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. A team of physicians, nurses, and behavioral health technicians delivers care, and every person's plan reflects their particular needs.
The center offers two specialized tracks for PTSD, one for veterans and one for Native Americans.

Therapies and services at the center
Medical detox is the first level of care for many clients at Virtue Recovery Detox Sun City West, with 24/7 monitoring by clinical staff for withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, and other substances. If you are withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, then a medical team should watch over the process because symptoms can become dangerous quickly. After detox, clients may step into co-occurring mental health treatment that addresses both the substance use and conditions like PTSD or depression at the same time.
Options for therapy cover individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, group therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. Art therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness therapy are holistic options that offer clients additional ways to process emotions. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is available for some mental health concerns, and care is personalized for each person. Enrolling in a program here means you can expect evidence-based methods paired with holistic approaches.
