Healing That Reaches Beyond Symptoms
Treatment places an emphasis on restoring well-being and rebuilding stability in everyday life. The facility supports individuals with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions using trauma-informed therapy, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), and evidence-based practices. Hands-on approaches such as equine therapy and expressive arts are built into the treatment as essential tools for helping clients reconnect with self, purpose, and agency.
Programs That Reflect Real Lives
Sierra Tucson offers tailored tracks for individuals in high-pressure roles, including veterans, first responders, and licensed professionals such as nurses, attorneys, and physicians. These peer-based programs create crucial spaces to address professional identity, burnout, trauma, and accountability in a setting that feels safe and relatable. Programming is structured, but personalized, balancing clinical depth with community.
Support That Stays With You
Client support continues after the end of on-campus treatment through Connect365, a yearlong continuing care program. Clients receive structured check-ins, app-based coaching, and progress tracking designed to reinforce accountability and connection. This kind of extended support can ease the transition into daily life and help prevent isolation or setbacks.
A Setting That Supports Reset and Renewal
Situated on 160 acres in the Sonoran Desert, the campus features semi-private rooms and serene outdoor spaces like a labyrinth, walking paths, and equine facilities. Clients describe the environment not just as peaceful, but as an active part of their healing, providing the space, quiet, and safety to begin their journey to recovery with clarity and purpose.
What Patients Say
Reviews point to a consistently strong clinical team, meaningful trauma work, and a supportive peer community—especially within the RWB program. While some mention frustrations with admissions or insurance, the overarching tone is one of gratitude. Many describe their experience at Sierra Tucson as a turning point not just in their recovery, but in their overall sense of purpose and well-being.
