Canyon Crossing Recovery - Prescott, Arizona

Gabby Moxley

this place was something I had to escape from. Literally. I had to escape to get my life back. Isn’t that ironic because I went to CANYON to get my life back and almost lost my life there twice at canyon. There has been posts on here that literally say word for word what I went through. The amount of bullying that went on there is insane. And I would love to say it was just the girls bullying me but the staff members were the worst part of it. Pam, Kelsi, Kat, Courtney, and Jenna. The amount of nightmares I STILL have about this place and it’s been 2 years! I actually got my time sober OUTSIDE of this place! One thing I have to address is the thing they made us do every Friday! CIRCLE. Where they would have us start confrontations with eachother and I seemed to be the target for all of those non sensible things but the staff allowed it and encouraged this type of behavior. I was also placed on silence, and it was humiliating to be treated this way. Everyone was treated different and I seemed to be the odd one out which made my mental health suicidal thoughts come back worst. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY. And thank God they are closing that is an answered prayer , that no one has to go through this !

Tried adding a review on yelp and I was told it got filtered out. For a place that promotes integrity and grace, the owners of canyon avoid accountability for the trauma inflicted on their patients. The negative reviews I've read all ring true for me and my own experience. Like many others, I could go on and on about my time in canyon. I have had to write about it several times to process it fully. It is too much to put in a review. All I can say is: don't send your loved ones to canyon. I lost myself for a long time. I lost friendships with people I deeply cared for, I lost time I can't get back, and almost lost my sanity. Of course, I have my own part in what I've lost, but canyon did not help me to rebuild myself and my life. It did the opposite. Please look elsewhere for treatment options. You and your family deserve better.

I was at Canyon for 8 months. It was hard, really hard work. But I put in the work and I can honestly say that Canyon saved my life. The rules at first seem a little much but in the end I wouldn't have been as successful as I have been without every single one of them. I, for the first time in my life, can honestly say and believe that I have a life worth living and I wouldn't have gotten there without my support from everyone here at CCR. If you send a loved one here it will be really hard at first but this I believe is the best chance they have at living a happy, fufilled life. I now not only have a will to live but I have the confidence that I can live this life on my own, that it's my life and no one gets to dictate my happiness, sense of security, and self worth, except me. Thank you Canyon for saving my life and for never giving up on me even when I had given up myself.

Our daughter went to Canyon after it was reported she remained suicidal after a 90 day stay at a first rehab center. Canyon is an all female long term rehab facility. Canyon staff helped her acknowledge her addiction. Canyon helped her value herself, learn many coping skills and commit to her recovery. She has made mistakes during this period; despite that, Canyon staff has remained committed to continued support, providing appropriate guidance and consequences. We are grateful for twice weekly parent support calls, strong regular communication and for reestablishing our hope for our daughter’s happy and healthy future.

Life changing experience! Canyon crossing is the first place I’ve been where I’ve felt fully accepted as a human being. The staff is phenomenal and they truly love you until you love yourself! There is no judgments and no matter what you are struggling with, they get to the root of the issue and not just try to numb you up. I felt heard and understood!! Every single class is helpful, the different types of therapies they have are amazing and something different for every person making sure each and every individual gets their needs met. Canyon Crossing has changed my life and if you are willing to allow them, they will change yours too! All you have to do is surrender and let them in. You can trust each and everyone at Canyon to love you until you can love yourself. If I could I would give them 100 stars!! Highly recommend giving them a chance!!!

Canyon Crossing saved my life. This treatment program is like no other. I can say with full faith and humility that Canyon gave me the tools and experiences necessary to make long term sobriety possible. The staff truly cares about each and every client's journey and go to great lengths to aide in those journeys in every way they can. I am blessed to have had the chance to work with such amazing people on my road to recovery. Also, to touch on the town of Prescott, AZ, it really is "everybody's home town"! The history of Prescott and the surrounding areas are deeply rooted in healing and provide an incredible backdrop to the personal work being done throughout the transitional living program Canyon offers.

Any poor reviews about Canyon should be taken with a grain of salt. Many of these come from former clients, parents or family members not quite ready to see all the truths that go along with the necessary steps and treatment that it really takes to commit oneself to changing their entire life to be able to stay alive, stay happy and thrive.

Thank you Canyon Crossing for everything you have done for me personally and for all that you do for others searching to find themselves and live clean and sober once and for all!

this place permanently traumatized me to the point where if I needed to go to another facility for substance help I wouldnt be able to go. They make you sign your rights away so that way if you want to leave you can’t. i was told it was a 6-9 month program and at my 9 month mark i was still in the third stage; i couldn’t take it anymore and ran away. ( i didn’t relapse) they refused to give me my medicine and belongings so i was forced to come back. then I had to lie about being suicidal so i could go to the psych ward to call my parents and tell them what actually had been going on because Canyon refused to let me talk to them.(they don’t let you talk to your parents without a house parent there, so you can’t say things that you wanna say and you’re also not allowed to say certain things which is unethical) i also had to call the cops on them, while i was in the hospital, because they refused to give me my medicine and belongings. the staff at the hospital even disagreed with how they were treating me. their employee turn over rate is horrible as well. none of the therapists or doctors stay long at all. even when a house parent had been there for a year and asked for a raise they gave them .80 cents more. they raised her not even a dollar. they also switched my therapists three times making me reopen all of the trauma i talked about twice. if I was a parent who had a child struggling with addiction, This would be the last place I would send my kid solely for the fact that they shame you; their method to their recovery process is super dated, unorganized, and has literally been proven to be Ineffective for addiction recovery. Please, if you’re a parent looking to send your kid here, PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS FROM THE CLIENTS. not the parents. because the parents are only told half of what’s actually going on there. when the joint commission accreditation came to review the place for a third time, they made sure all the clients were not on campus so they would not be exposed for how they actually treat the clients. there’s much better facilities in prescott to send your child to if you actually want your kid to stay clean. there director is also a conceited, stuck up immature little girl and makes u feel horrible about urself. intentionally. and the owners replaced their crack addition with surgeries, fillers, million dollar houses in nashville and expensive SUVS. that’s where ur insurance payments go to.

Please don’t send anyone you love to this treatment center. This rehab center uses behavior modification which was popularized in the 70’s and has been now been found to be ineffective in the modern era. It’s essentially a light form of brainwashing and is part of the reason why from the outside looking in the people in Canyon Crossing can look like they are in an occult. If you see them out they don’t make eye contact with other people and aren’t allowed to socialize, I sent my daughter there several years ago and she was emotionally scarred from the insane level of control maintained by the owner’s. If she saw her male bestfriend she wasn’t allowed to acknowledge his existence they have an excessive amount of rules in order to change mindsets but that doesn’t translate into normal life. They also do circles where other girls berate and shame each other if a rule is broken. I could go on and on, from silence bans, to 3 day service punishments, to being forced to wear derogatory signs around their necks. The lessons that they learn aren’t applicable in the real world because life is so different in Canyon Crossing. These girls are sensitive and impressionable after coming off the streets but Canyon Crossing doesn’t actually rehabilitate by teaching real life skills. Instead they use female empowerment as a catch all to endorse poor behavior but the graduates there aren’t successful in life they’re just sober but still lost. A true rehab helps people from being on the streets to a functional member of society. This one shows women how adaptable they are and does not actually address the trauma or mental health issues that are the cause of addiction which means that even if they do stay sober they still stay in the same immature mindset that they came in with. I plead with you to reconsider sending your children here so they don’t end up like my daughter or any of her “friends” that went through Canyon Crossing.

I know it’s a late review but I had to do my own work to process my shame from putting someone I loved in this treatment center.
