About Claudia Black Young Adult Center – Wickenburg
The Meadows – Claudia Black Young Adult Center is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Wickenburg, Arizona. They treat young adults for alcohol use disorder and substance use disorder. They offer dual diagnosis care for people who have a concurring mental health disorder and an addiction problem.
This center is known for the unique treatment model it provides which was developed by Pia Mellody. This model asserts that childhood trauma leads to immaturity which leads to difficulty managing normal adult responsibilities as well as intimacy problems. People who have these issues will often take drugs to self medicate.
They use many different treatment methods here. They have a brain center where you can receive neurofeedback treatment. A computer measures your brain waves. It helps a clinician monitor your thought patterns so you can change them.
They use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people who have experienced trauma. EMDR uses sensory experiences like lights or sounds to treat patients. The patient tries to recall trauma while the sensory treatment is happening. These sensory experiences cause the body’s reaction to trauma to dissipate. You may be treated with Somatic Experiencing which teaches clients to live in the present and forget the trauma of the past.
