FAQ

Why are the River Source prices so much less than its competitors?

Our regular prices were at $15,000 for the first month however, we discounted our prices to $9,500 for the first 30 days. The River Source understands these are tough economic times for all of us. Our second month or subsequent months regularly fees were $11,000 and we have discounted our prices down to $6,500.

We intentionally set our prices low to allow all those seeking help an opportunity for a high quality residential substance abuse treatment program at an affordable cost. Our residential housing is not 5 star resort. A luxury environment is not a necessary component of recovery and treatment. In fact, we believe, it can be a detriment. We do offer a safe, comfortable, clean and tranquel home-like setting.

In addition, our Naturopathic Clinic on site is staffed in conjunction with the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SWCNM) - a premier learning institute of naturopathic medicine located in Tempe, AZ. The River Source Naturopathic Clinic serves as a learning component for the college, which allows us to provide naturopathic clinic services with a low overhead. Fees for the first 30 days are $9,500 and subsequent months are reduced to $6,500 each. Ask about our extra discounted fees by call 1-888-687-7332.

Why River Source offers Prolotherapy/Pain Management Services to its clients?

Historically, pain disorders and addictive disorders have been treated separately. Pain centers may do a good job treating chronic pain clients, but often fail to address addiction. Traditional addiction programs can be effective in treating addictive disease but usually do not understand the subtleties of, nor provide appropriate treatment for clients with chronic pain and/or chronic pain syndrome. By combing pain management services to its treatment for addictive disorders, River Source continues to provide an individualized, comprehensive and holistic approach to each clients condition.

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy (aka Regenerative Injection Therapy - RIT), also known as ligament reconstructive therapy or sclerotherapy, is a recognized orthopedic procedure that stimulates the body's natural healing processes to strengthen joints weakened by trauma or arthritis. Joints weakened when ligaments and tendons are stretched, torn, or fragmented, become hypermobile and painful. Traditional approaches with anti-inflammatory drugs and surgery often fail to stabilize the joint and relieve pain permanently. Prolotherapy has the unique ability to directly address the cause of instability and repair the weakened sites, resulting in permanent stabilization of the joint. When specialized substances are precisely injected into the site of pain or injury, prolotherapy creates a mild, controlled inflammation which stimulates the body to lay down new tendon or ligament fibers, resulting in a strengthening of the weakened structure. When the joint becomes strong, pain will be relieved. Please click on the link to read more information. Pain Management

Naturopathy is founded on the premise that people are naturally healthy, and that healing can occur through removing obstacles to a cure and by stimulating the body's natural healing abilities.
