Desert Cove Recovery

<pDesert Cove Recovery is a holistic treatment center that follows the 12-Step program. Anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and other underlying causes of addiction are all treated at Desert Cove. Although Desert Cove does not conduct medical detox, if it is considered necessary, they will make a reference to a local detox facility. Desert Cove combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with 12-Step philosophy and group therapy. Clients must attend off-site AA meetings seven nights a week. Clients can also attend on-site meetings, which feature guest speakers. As an alternative to lectures and classes on addiction, expressive art therapy is available. Breakfast is served at 7:00 a.m., followed by group therapy from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. Depending on the day, clients can participate in educational groups, expressive art therapy, a healing trauma course, or yoga. Individual therapy and guest lecturers, as well as off-site AA meetings, fill the afternoons.

The Desert Cove residential facility is homey and comfortable. Clients share a room with one other roommate in apartment-like housing. There is a pool and community TV available in the media room for clients to watch during free time.
