Sanctuary At Sedona

The Sanctuary saved my life! I had been struggling with severe depression and anxiety for nearly 2 years, and to be honest likely much, much longer. I had even started to consider taking my own life...not good! I knew there had to be a better option and some way to get out of those feelings of hopelessness. The Sanctuary at Sedona's holistic approach to heal your mind, body, soul and spirit really resonated with me. The days are busy, and they offer more individualized sessions per week than any other inpatient facility that I could find. There is a true sense of community and family there that makes you feel like you aren’t alone anymore in whatever fight you have in your life. I also really appreciated the ceremonial component to so many things, the wide-range of modalities stemming from talk therapy, to energy work, bodywork, IV and recovery labs with new tech, a gym, and even a true authentic Sweat Lodge. What a special, special place to have found. The # of clients on their 22 acre isolated campus is always small (14 or less), and makes you feel extremely well cared for, while being able to get back to our roots in nature. It in no way feels like you've been institutionalized, but rather that you have a team colluding on your behalf to help you get your soul back. Thank you, thank you to all the staff at the Sanctuary for this most transformative experience. I am a different man as I continue my life journey now and so, so grateful for everything the staff does there.

My experience at The Sanctuary was unlike anything I had encountered in healthcare or recovery before. From the very beginning, it was clear that this was not a place focused on simply managing symptoms or achieving short-term sobriety. The clinical team took the time to understand and treat the root causes of my struggles—addressing the underlying psychological, emotional, and physiological factors that had shaped my addiction. Care was individualized, intentional, and grounded in a deep respect for whole-person healing. What stood out most was the culture of care and well-being. I didn’t feel like a patient being processed; I felt like a human being who truly mattered. Every interaction—medical, therapeutic, and personal—communicated safety, compassion, and professionalism. I was genuinely taken care of in a way that allowed my nervous system to settle, my mind to clear, and real healing to begin. The impact of that approach has been life-changing. My life today looks completely different than it did before treatment. My health, my clarity, and my sense of purpose have been restored, and my marriage is stronger and more connected than it has ever been. The Sanctuary didn’t just help me recover—they helped me rebuild my life on a healthier foundation. There is no other rehab center I would choose or recommend. The Sanctuary sets a standard for what recovery care should be, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking true, lasting healing to trust themselves to this remarkable place.

My 30 days at The Sanctuary completely changed my life. I came in hopeless and disconnected, and I left seeing my light again!! My therapist, Alison, was incredible. She led three Zoom family sessions, one with each of my children, and helped us communicate honestly and lovingly. My family absolutely adored her. For the first time, I was able to listen to my children with a clear mind and an open heart. Dr. Andy oversaw our IV support twice a week, helping me regain strength and clarity through his wellness insights and care. His guidance on navigating depression was invaluable. Karen, my journeywork and shadow-work counselor, helped me reconnect my head and my heart. She guided me through deep shadow work and taught me that many of my reactions toward others were actually a mirror of myself. The shadow work was extremely transformative for facing things I have struggled to in the past. Dr. Mary, whom I saw weekly, used her functional medicine expertise to help me sleep better and safely reduce medications that were leaving me groggy. She went far beyond traditional psychiatry. The organic food was nourishing and healing, and Victoria, the nutritionist, taught me how important nutrition is for anxiety and overall balance. We also received two private sessions every day, each offering unique healing that showed me how much trauma is held in the body, not just the mind. The level of care here is unlike anything I’ve experienced. Dean lives on-site, and Ruby’s presence brings so much warmth and grounding. Every staff member, on-site and off-site, truly cares, and I felt supported every single day. Beyond the staff, I made great connections with other members who became my tribe for life. The nature of the sanctuary brought us together as we supported each other in our healing journeys and that was something truly special. My life has changed tremendously. My children have their mom back. I feel grounded, present, and truly myself again. I wish I could list every staff member by name, because each one played a role in saving my life. If you are even considering this place, know it will truly be a life changing experience. I would recommend The Sanctuary to anyone and everyone. It is the reset your whole being has been waiting for!!!

The Sanctuary not only supports you while you are a client but the aftercare program is a sacred and truly valuable extension. The alumni are provided a safe and compassionate space with peers (soul tribe)

Hi! My name is Conlan Lamb and my experience at the Sanctuary was perfect. I loved the people, place, and structure. The staff, practitioners, and support staff are who healed me (and I believe with me) through talks, meals, dances, jokes, discussions, explorations, and meditations. The land, wash, river, and mountains gave me a chance to explore and be on my own. The schedule, meals, routines, and activities let me break out of my every day mind and body routines to grow. Thanks so much to the Sanctuary.
