Rio Retreat Center at The Meadows

Rio Retreat Center at The Meadows

 

The Rio Retreat Center is another member of the luxury rehab facilities offered by the Meadows group. Situated in Wickenburg, Arizona on the fringes of the Sonoran Desert, the Rio Retreat Center focuses on workshops and intensive programs to help clients end their addictions. The rehab center uses alternative approaches and offers a unique methodology to treat clients.

 

Therapists work with residents on a variety of treatment programs including sex addiction, relationship issues, grief and loss, and trauma. The Rio Retreat Center offers treatment programs that consist of psychoeducation, experiential therapy, 12 steps, and more evidence-based recovery plans.

 

The biggest differences between the Rio Retreat Center and the Meadows’ other rehab facilities are the cost and time clients experience in the programs. Rio Retreat focuses on short, intensive sessions to treat guests. The five-day therapeutic workshops delivered by the center’s staff make it possible for clients to take a week away from their normal lives to undergo treatment before returning home.

 

Rio Retreat Center is part of the world-class family of the Meadows group. The facility resembles a desert ranch rather than a treatment center. Lush green grass awaits guests just outside the center while mountains can be seen over the horizon. It is a beautiful isolated setting for residents to immerse themselves in to full recover from addiction, trauma, or loss.

 

What is a day like at Rio Retreat Center?

 

The intensive workshops take place Sunday to Friday. Each day is heavily structured and guests will experience group sessions, activities and excursions, and various events aimed at healing.

 

Residents will begin the day at 7 am and complete a full day’s worth of sessions including psychoeducation, small group therapy, and 12-step meetings. Clients will also take part in written personal assignments aimed at getting to the core of their issues. Meals are provided three times a day.

 

Clients can choose from different workshops during their stay that directly relate to their trauma or addiction. Workshops offer a variety of experience and treatment methods including EMDR, CBT, Somatic Experiencing, biofeedback, and psychodrama. Clients will also address their issues of codependency, feelings of resentment and depression. Therapists will also delve into clients’ unhealthy patterns and changing their lifestyles going forward.

 

The rehab center also offers clients fitness classes such as yoga and tai chi. Meanwhile, art and music therapy, acupuncture, and equine therapy are available. Every day is filled with activities and there is little down-time during a stay at the facility.
