The Summit

Medical doctors in mental health treatment conduct medical evaluations, monitor physical health, manage medications, and collaborate with therapists and psychiatrists to support safe and effective recovery. Their involvement helps ensure mental health care addresses both psychological and medical factors.

A private mental health residential program provides a critical bridge between inpatient stabilization and independent outpatient care. The Summit Sanctuary in Scottsdale, Arizona offers 24/7 clinical supervision, psychiatric services, medication management, and a multidisciplinary treatment team within a structured, accredited setting. Designed to support hospital discharge planning, our residential program ensures continuity of care and long-term stabilization for adults.

For case managers and medical social workers, the period immediately following inpatient stabilization is one of the highest-risk transition points in behavioral healthcare. When inpatient hospitalization has achieved medical and psychiatric stabilization, but outpatient therapy alone is insufficient, a structured step-down psychiatric care program becomes essential.
