About Desert Star Addiction Recovery Center

Locally owned and operated since 2009 Desert Star emphasizes evidence based treatment that addresses addiction alongside trauma, relationships, and mental health.
Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient
Care typically begins with a comprehensive addiction or mental health assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care. From there, clients may enter PHP or IOP with IOP available in daytime, evening, in-person, virtual, and in hybrid formats to accommodate responsibilities.
Clients can expect a blend of group therapy and client counseling, family sessions and couples workshops, and psychiatric appointments when clinically appropriate.
Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention with integrated support for trauma, anxiety and depression, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
