About Sabino Recovery

Sabino Recovery helps clients pursue not just recovery but true transformation. Their luxury inpatient treatment center in the Sonoran Desert provides a truly individualized experience for clients struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Shaped by the latest research in neuroscience, they tailor both naturopathic and allopathic medical practices to ensure clients receive comprehensive care. Clients will appreciate not only the serene setting in the Catalina foothills, but also the enriching activities that invigorate the mind, body, and spirit.
Sabino Recovery employs an evidence-based treatment model focused on trauma-informed care. It aims to fully address trauma as a way to diminish symptoms, reduce shame, and increase empathy and safety. Their programming is individualized at the highest level: each treatment regimen is based on the entire person, not just the diagnosis. Upon admission, an in-depth assessment provides staff with the client’s unique history and circumstances. Clients have lab work and non-invasive exams done to better inform clinical decisions, and the team takes into account clients’ day-to-day circumstances to guide each daily treatment plan. Every therapeutic modality used is informed by neuroscience, from evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and neurofeedback, to integrative therapies such as massage, art therapy, outdoor adventure, and yoga. The Sabino Recovery team consists of naturopathic and allopathic professionals, including psychiatrists and psychologists. Members of the neurofeedback and sleep study programs in particular are thought leaders in their fields. Every staff member has been carefully selected, not only for their experience and skill, but also for possessing a great deal of empathy and compassion.
Because each person’s history is so distinctive, Sabino Recovery offers 50 one-on-one sessions in just 35 days. This allows their multidisciplinary team to work with each resident on their specific issues, and address the root cause of their struggles and not just the symptoms. Their group sessions have no more than 8 participants, ensuring each person is able to give feedback and be heard. Near the end of a client’s program, family members are invited to participate in the family program. This 3.5-day program is designed to reconnect clients with the people most important to their recovery. Through guided exercises, families gain insights into their dynamics and learn to communicate effectively.
Continuing Care and Aftercare
During treatment, clients meet weekly with the Continuing Care Coordinator for interactive and educational sessions about the importance of ongoing care. Clients create a sustainable, recovery-focused, self-care plan with healthy habits and support networks. Sabino Recovery’s well-designed aftercare program may include medication management, individual therapy, and partial hospitalization or outpatient treatment to reduce the risk of relapse. Their free lifelong alumni program provides individualized follow-up, structured group weekly Zoom calls, and alumni reunions.
Set against the serene backdrop of Sabino Canyon in Tucson, Sabino Recovery’s campus-style environment at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains maintains an intimate feel. They offer private suites and shared rooms, gourmet meals crafted by an in-house chef, and a fully equipped gym. Clients enjoy peaceful labyrinth walks, acupuncture, cupping, sauna retreats and cold-water plunges. The grounds also include a bookstore, relaxing courtyard, swimming pool, ropes course, basketball and pickleball courts, and a music recording studio. Cell phone and laptop usage are monitored and only available during specific hours.
