Telepsychiatry
In addition to our face-to-face option in our brand-new renovated Scottsdale location, Sanctuary Treatment Center is also a behavioral health telehealth provider. Telehealth is treatment services that are provided over the internet (meeting Federally approved internet confidentiality and security standards) and the provider and client are in two different office sites. Both are able to see and communicate with each other over a monitor/screen and the session proceeds as if they were in the same room with one another. Serving all of Arizona virtually, we’ve made high-quality psychiatric care more accessible than ever. Sanctuary also has been able to integrate telehealth with a wide range of their outpatient services which include but not limited to Depression, Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, Substance Abuse Therapy and Substance Abuse Evaluations.

Medication Management
Psychiatric medication management is vital in treating mental health disorders, allowing individuals to achieve better symptom control, improved quality of life, and overall well-being.
It involves the careful evaluation and monitoring of an individual’s response to medications prescribed for their mental health condition. It is a collaborative approach between the individual and their healthcare provider to ensure the safe and effective use of psychiatric medications.
During the initial evaluation, healthcare providers gather information about the individual’s medical history, current symptoms, and any previous experiences with medications. This information helps in determining the most suitable medication options. Once medications are prescribed, regular follow-ups are scheduled to assess the individual’s response and make any necessary adjustments.
Psychiatric medication management also involves educating individuals about their medications. This includes providing information about potential side effects, proper administration, and any necessary precautions. It is important for individuals to have a clear understanding of their medications, as this can help them make informed decisions and actively participate in their treatment.
ADHD Testing and Management
For the longest time, managing attention deficit hyperactive disorder relied solely on subjective information. The process was complex and time-consuming. Then, QbTech provides new solution for this. QbCheck and QbTest are computer-based tests, designed by a team of clinical psychologists to objectively measure the three core ADHD symptoms through in-clinic and remote ADHD testing.
They measure motor activity down to the millimeter and take 15-20 minutes to complete. Data is compared to a normative control group of the same age and sex at birth, helping to reduce age and gender bias.
Sanctuary Treatment Center is a designated vendor of QbTech. We offer QbCheck, a flexible, web-based ADHD test which you can easily take at home. We also administer QbTest, if you prefer to complete the test in our clinic.
By using this leading ADHD technology, we believe that everyone, everywhere must have access to reliable and effective care. QbTech technology-driven approach combines objective solutions with subjective data and helps us achieve positive outcomes for our patients.

Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used in medicine since the 1960s and was used by medical doctors and dentists to treat pain. In 2017, the FDA-approved Ketamine treatment for depression. Off-label it is also used to treat and improve symptoms of anxiety and PTSD.
Ketamine works by affecting the brain's ability to process pain signals. It blocks NMDA receptors, which are responsible for memory formation and learning. The effects of Ketamine can last from 45 minutes up to 3 hours, depending on the dosage and method of administration. When used as a treatment for depression, it works quickly—in less than an hour. Ketamist® therapy is a series of Ketamine sessions, resulting in depression remission with minimal side effects.
