Scottsdale Treatment Institute:
Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Treatment

by John B. Butler, CEO-Scottsdale Treatment, LISAC, NCAC II

The idea for Scottsdale Treatment Inc. began in 1996. Our priority is to treat the disease of addiction. We believe in treating addicts and alcoholics who come to our facility for treatment with respect. Too many people, friends and family members, have looked down on the alcoholic or addict as being "less than." Scottsdale Treatment Institute is dedicated to educating addicts, alcoholics, their families and friends about the disease of addiction.

This is an exciting time to be involved in the field of recovery. Medical science has made and continues to make tremendous strides in the medical modalities available to treat addictions. STI is proud to offer cutting edge medical treatment to our clients. Heroin, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, and Vicodin addicts are relieved of their cravings & withdrawal symptoms in most cases almost immediately with Suboxone. A once monthly injection of Vivitrol helps the alcoholic cease their constant desire for a drink and return to school or work the next day.

Scottsdale Treatment Institute has a procedure to help Methamphetamine, Cocaine and Crack addicts relieve their cravings. The removal of cravings allows the alcoholic and the addict to begin to think with some clarity for the first time since the beginning of their addiction.

We also understand underlying issues such as sleep disorder, depression, anxiety and ADD/HD and our staff of trained medical doctors have the knowledge and understanding to treat these disorders without jeopardizing an individual's sobriety.

It is our belief, and that of the majority in the field of recovery, that one of the most important components of healing is Intensive Outpatient Therapy. All of our clients are encouraged to participate in our men's or woman's IOP program. Historically we have found that patients who are compliant with their individual treatment plans ( which includes therapy ) are much more successful with their recovery. We offer both individual and group counseling and have men's. women's and co-ed groups available.

Getting people their lives back, helping those who suffer from the disease of addiction, witnessing alcoholics and addicts become productive members of society, seeing families heal from the damage this disease causes, these are the goals Scottsdale Treatment has set for itself. We have purposely set the standard at a high level and we will continue to meet it.
