Sierra Tucson

Mission & Vision

Located in the foothills of the beautiful Santa Catalina Mountains near Tucson, Arizona, the 160-acre campus offers a natural healing environment with the highest level of confidentiality, serenity, and individual respect. The secluded setting is ideal for an atmosphere of tranquility as well as safety. While Sierra Tucson is only 33 miles from the Tucson International Airport, our campus enjoys the beauty of nature without distractions. It is from that foundation that the healing process begins. And, with the goal of making residents as comfortable and “at home” as possible, the semi-private rooms are feature full beds and the kind of amenities found in a nice hotel. While the onsite Inpatient Unit provides a full range of medical and clinical services, its environment is nurturing and peaceful.

What Our Patients Say About Us

Fresh Start

The time spent at Sierra Tucson was the true beginning of my journey. Not only did I overcome my addictions, but I began to focus on the root causes that created my compulsions. I understand myself so much better now.

Sierra Tucson was the first place where I felt safe and comfortable enough to share my story. The amazing staff, majestic grounds, and community of fellow peers, gave me the support I needed to take action and begin to do the work to change my life. Since leaving Sierra Tucson, I’ve had my fair share of struggles, but have continued to do the work and have somehow created a life worth living. I’ve returned to ST twice as an alumni, and have built lifelong relationships in these visits. Words can’t express the gratitude I have for have been given the opportunity to be a part of this community.

I entered the doors of Sierra Tucson on June 4, 2019. It was not my first time entering an inpatient treatment program for drugs and alcohol. It was my fourth time, with the first being in 1994. I had never been able to stay clean and sober for even 100 days in those 25 years. After each treatment failure, I isolated into a world of my own choosing. Limited family interactions and as little accountability as I could muster or face. Surface level relationships were all I had. This was true even though I had two kids under age 10 and a wife of 12+ years. I called Sierra Tucson myself to admit I was desperate and needed their help. Previous treatment visits were preceded by a call from somebody else. My parents, siblings, and a former girlfriend. Being a 44 year old that never addressed childhood PTSD and abuse and trauma was most of the root of my pain. The dual diagnosis approach to fight addiction at Sierra Tucson helped me to shake away the shame that had been a constant in my life since I was about 5 years old. Sierra Tucson provided the environment for me to actually break down why I had the need to drink and use so crazily for 32 years of my life. The peer to peer involvement was a training ground for me to have authentic conversations with the people I loved and those that loved me after leaving. Now 5+ years later, I include recovery in my everyday. Meetings, meetings online, and answering to anybody who reaches out for help from desperation is a normal part of my life. Thank you Sierra Tucson for helping me to restore my life and family.

I was on the fence as to whether or not to come to a treatment program at all. I looked at several, it was almost providential that I ended up at Sierra Tucson. There was the trampoline effect, sometimes I was up sometimes I was down. The doctors and therapists really care and are very compassionate and knowledgeable on how to stabilize and help restore health and soundness of mind. I was really taken back that the CEO actually visits with you during meal times to make sure that you’re getting all that you need. I’ve never seen that in any health care model being an RN myself. Im very grateful for the experience and the help that I received there. Like anything you can find faults but if you’re looking for the good there is a lot of good in this place much gratitude for Sierra Tucson. They deserve all five stars and are a top rated facility!
