Confidentiality
Anasazi upholds the highest standard of confidentiality. Information will only be shared with parents, personal therapists/physicians, and ecclesiastical leaders with the permission of the participant. Direct-care workers will not know of the background of the young adult participating in the walking. The Shadow (Anasazi therapist) is the only direct-care worker who will be familiar with the participant’s past. Medical records detailing treatment are created and securely maintained for a minimum of seven years.
Screening
Anasazi is not for everyone, and so we carefully screen all applicants prior to admission. Screening includes a telephone interview, medical examination and the review of a detailed social history by the treatment team. Young adults will not be accepted with medical conditions that would limit their participation or have concerns that cannot be adequately and effectively addressed at Anasazi. In addition, young adults must voluntarily commit to complete the walking (minimum of 49-days).
Safety
Anasazi’s professional staff organization includes a medical doctor/psychiatrist, licensed clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and registered nurses. The majority of the direct-care staff are 21-32 years old. Many have or are completing degrees in the helping professions. Staff are trained in first aid, CPR, Wilderness First Responder and have appropriate guide licenses and permits. Anasazi maintains provider agreements with a medical helicopter service and local hospital.
Cost
Programs are billed via a daily rate. (For a quote, please contact a member of our Admissions team at 480-892-7403 or via e-mail at [email protected].) Often treatment is not covered by insurance. When there are limited insurance benefits and no other financial resources, Anasazi can provide financial aid via its ongoing fundraising efforts. Participants and/or one’s family are responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses.
