(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- As Arizona faces a continued rise in alcohol-related deaths and untreated addiction, a premier alcohol addiction treatment center based in Phoenix, is redefining the standard of care through its Integrated Care Model. This new and modern addiction treatment approach is rooted in decades of research and policy advancement of Arizona.

Understanding the Integrated Care Model

In today' s scenario the integrated care model is a smarter, more complete way to treat alcohol addiction. Instead of sending someone to different places for therapy, mental health care, and medical help, this model brings everything together under one roof. It treats the whole person, not just the drinking problem by focusing on the mind, body, and life situation all at once. This approach has proven to work better and helps people stay sober longer.

Here's what it includes:

- Therapy and mental health care happen alongside addiction treatment.
- Medical support is available, including detox and medication when needed.
- Nutrition, fitness, and stress management are part of the program.
- Family support and social skills are included to help people rebuild relationships.
- Everything is coordinated, so no one falls through the cracks.

According to SAMHSA's evaluation of the Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration (PBHCI) grant program, integrated care produces better outcomes. When mental health and addiction are treated together in a coordinated way, people experience improvements in physical health markers, higher engagement, and reduced healthcare costs. It's not only more effective for patients, it's also more cost-efficient for the healthcare system."

Why Integrated Care Model is Working

The integrated care model has gained national recognition because it directly addresses the challenges that have long made traditional addiction treatment fall short.

- Co-occurring disorders are the norm, not the exception. Research shows that most people with alcohol addiction also struggle with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or unresolved trauma. Ignoring these issues during treatment significantly increases the risk of relapse.

- Fragmented care systems have failed. In 2018, only 8% of individuals with both a substance use disorder and a mental illness received treatment for both. Many received no care at all often because services were spread across disconnected providers, with little coordination between mental health and addiction care.

Nirvana Recovery: Setting the Standard in Arizona

With growing demand across Maricopa County and beyond, Nirvana Recovery has become a pioneer in delivering what national health leaders have long recommended: treating alcohol addiction and mental health as one integrated journey and not two separate struggles.

In Arizona drug rehab centers have observed a surge in demand for whole-person care models that address both alcohol use and co-occurring mental health conditions. Nirvana Recovery has responded well to this need by expanding its alcohol addiction program, which integrates psychiatric care, behavioral therapy, and physical wellness into a unified treatment experience. Serving clients from Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, and surrounding areas, the program has already helped hundreds reclaim their lives with lower relapse rates and better long-term outcomes than traditional treatment models.

At Nirvana Recovery, the integrated alcohol addiction treatment program includes:

- Clinical detox and medical monitoring
- One-on-one therapy with licensed addiction and mental health counselors
- Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
- Group therapy, trauma care, and relapse prevention
- Yoga, nutrition, mindfulness, and family education sessions

By coordinating all aspects of treatment under one roof, Nirvana ensures clients receive consistent, compassionate, and complete care.
