Programs
Royal Life Centers offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as an option throughout all of our treatment programs. Please see a full list of our programs below:
Medical Detox
A medically-assisted detox program, that ranges in length from 4 to 8 days, depending on your withdrawal symptoms. Therapy is included during detox.
Inpatient
Our residential inpatient program ranges from 14 to 30 days. This is our most therapeutically-structured and intensive program, with 5 hours of therapy/day.
Telehealth Available
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Our partial-hospitalization program is just a clinical way of describing treatment that has structured therapy with a medical component to monitor and manage symptoms. PHP is the first of three phases in our 12 week step-down program.
Telehealth Available
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
We offer both intensive outpatient and outpatient programs. Intensive outpatient (IOP) constitutes the last two phases of our 12-week program. Our outpatient programs can be joined at any time, and are the least restrictive, most flexible treatment option. Designed for those who are currently working or needed in their household and already have support systems in place.
Telehealth Available
Sober Living
Guests can choose to live in our sober living environment or attend groups/therapy from home for the duration of our outpatient program (OP). You choose the therapy you need -- you can choose individual therapy, group therapy, or family/marriage therapy sessions, or a mixture of these three formats 1-3 times/week.
Telehealth Available for Outpatient
MAT Medications we utilize at Royal Life Centers
We use only FDA-approved medications for medication-assisted treatment. MAT at Royal is designed to support an MAT approach for individuals with an opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder. MAT medications are approved to treat only two substance use disorders, currently.
For Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
For Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) + Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
For Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Suboxone
A buprenorphine-based medication with naloxone (opioid antagonist) added to block the effects of opioids. It attaches to the opioid receptor in the brain and blocks it.
Subutex
A derivative of Suboxone without the addition of Naloxone. Subutex is a buprenorphine-based, partial agonist used for those who have an allergy to Naloxone.
Naltrexone
An opioid antagonist, which means it blocks the opioid receptor in the brain. Most people recognize naltrexone by the brand name Vivitrol©
Campral
An oral medication for the treatment of AUD. Campral (generic Acamprosate) works by reducing cravings by making the behavior of drinking alcohol unappealing.
We Offer MAT services through in-person treatment programming or telehealth

Frequently Asked Questions
Keep in mind that medications used for MAT are FDA-approved only for the treatment of opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder currently.
MAT at our treatment center is highly effective in treating addictions to:
- alcohol
- heroin
- synthetic opioids (fentanyl, carfentanil, etc.)
- prescription pain medications (opioids)
- methadone
- Suboxone
- Subutex
- Naltrexone
- Campral
Additionally, we have the option for guests to be transported offsite to get Sublocade injections. Sublocade is the most recent FDA-approved medication for opioid use disorder.
We don’t personally find methadone to be as effective as other medications used for medication-assisted treatment. Additionally, methadone has been shown to have negative effects on some health factors in men, including decreased bone density and testosterone levels.
We believe that since the release of methadone (in 1947), this country has produced better, more effective medications to be used for MAT.
Yes, we offer telehealth for all of our programs. Our goal in launching telehealth was to create greater accessibility to our programs and treatment in general.
Yes, you can. We are proud to offer this option within telehealth, as it creates opportunity for more people to get help despite a busy schedule, ongoing employment, etc.
Whatever the circumstance, we do have treatment options for you. If you have a particularly difficult case, we will work with you to identify your needs and find a solution— even if you don’t attend treatment with us, we are more than happy to help you find a place that provides what will work for you.

In Arizona, we have gender-specific programming during our inpatient programs. We offer a Women’s-only program and Men’s-only program, both in Prescott as well.
Our program length is highly customizable, to best fit what you need to achieve a solid foundation for lasting sobriety. Our detox program is either 4 or 8 days, depending on the severity of your withdrawal symptoms. Residential Inpatient is a 2-week accelerated program, but can be extended to 30 days at your request. We offer a long-term treatment program that is 12 weeks in length. This long-term option is a step-down program that spans our partial-hositalization program and two phases of intensive outpatient treatment. If you wanted to do our full continuum of care, you would be looking at a length of about 4-5 months total.
Our full continuum of care (detox, residential, and the 12-week program) is a little more than 3 months in length, however, if you wanted to continue care with us on an outpatient level, we also offer outpatient programming with or without housing. We have sober living residences that are close to our clinical building, and offer a range of amenities alongside a built-in full-time sober living staff and transportation services to and from 12-step meetings, the grocery store, and even outside doctor/dental appointments.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we are not permitted to allow any family members or friends into our detox or inpatient facility at this time. During your medical detox, we enact what’s called a “black out period” which just means you are not permitted to freely make phone calls to friends and family without permission from your therapist. If you choose to sign a release of information, your family members and friends can call our facility every day if they want to hear how you’re doing and your overall progress. Family members and friends are also allowed to send letters or care packages, which will be searched before being passed along to you.
If you are in our 12-week step-down program, family members and friends are permitted on our sober living campus for visits.
The way our programs are structured allow for you to choose which therapy types you would like to use, as well as which group therapy courses you would like, based on your needs and goals. Our therapies include, but are not limited to: rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational enhancement therapy, accelerated resolution therapy (ART), music therapy, equine therapy (therapy with horses), experiential therapy, biofeedback, etc.
We do integrate our curriculum with 12-step support groups like Alcoholic’s Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and 12-step themes, however we offer and support multiple programs of recovery. We use an abstinence-based, holistic model of addiction treatment.

An Evidence-Based Approach
MAT is another form of evidence-based treatment. Treatment with an MAT approach has been heavily researched and is proven to be effective through the results of that research and various studies involving MAT medications.
Studies and more information about medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an approach endorsed by...
- The American Medical Association
- The American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
- The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
We believe that overcoming past and present adversity serves as an asset that allows for self-growth and the changing of behaviors.
We aim to shift guests’ perspective from seeing addiction as a life sentence to seeing recovery as an inquisitive, unique and enthralling experience to find their higher selves. So, once a passion is sparked and a flame is ignited, the perceived “need” for drugs and alcohol diminishes and is replaced with a craving to experience life with clarity. Guests gain the self-love and self-respect to finally want a better way of life because they realize they deserve to grow and flourish in the world. “Because We Care,” not only do we teach individuals how to reclaim their lives, we empower them to re-integrate the forgotten parts of self in order to attain self-reliance.
Our Admissions Process
When you are asking for help, it’s important to streamline the process as much as possible to get you help right away. Since we’ve been helping people for over a decade, we have made our admissions process simple and quick.
Here is how the admissions process works.
1.
Contact us
You can call us directly, send an email to admissions, fill out an insurance verification form, or submit a request for us to contact you.
2.
Check your health insurance coverage
If you plan to use your health insurance to cover treatment, we will need to gather your insurance information. Health insurance is not required, so if you don’t have insurance we can discuss payment options for the treatment program(s) you have decided on.
3.
Do a 5-10 minute pre-assessment
This pre-assessment takes place over the phone and takes 5-10 minutes with the individual looking to enter our treatment program.
4.
Pick a day/time
Schedule a date and time you would like to come into the facility to formally admit.
5.
Come to us
Come to the facility at your scheduled time! If we have arranged your flight from out-of-state, we will keep tabs on your flight and have a driver pick you up from the airport when you arrive.
