We offer a wide range of modalities that address every facet of addiction recovery and mental health.

Where Healing Meets Elegance
What Sets Our Clinically Driven Rehab in Tucson, AZ Apart
We integrate both naturopathic and allopathic (Western) medical practices. Our team consists of naturopathic practitioners as well as allopathic professionals, including psychiatrists and psychologists. Together, these two approaches complement each other and ensure our residents receive holistic and comprehensive treatment for mental health and/or substance abuse disorders.
Our treatment program is shaped by the latest research in neuroscience. Every therapeutic modality we employ is informed by what we know about the brain. We support healing through leveraging therapies which boost neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural pathways. Additionally, we offer QEEG Brain Mapping – a powerful tool which measures the electrical function of the brain, providing data to prioritize and optimize treatment. Based on the data provided by brain mapping, we also offer neurofeedback and biofeedback.
The Sabino Recovery staff has been carefully selected not only for their experience and skill, but also for possessing a great deal of empathy and compassion. All staff members have a wealth of experience in both addiction and mental health recovery and truly love their work. They are remarkably devoted to the residents that they are blessed to work with every day. The result is an extraordinary healing environment for our residents.
At Sabino Recovery, we prioritize your holistic well-being. Our mission is not only to provide a serene and comfortable retreat but also to offer enriching activities that invigorate the mind, body, and spirit. With our bespoke, privately-curated programs, you’ll experience unparalleled care and world-class amenities.
We offer the upscale of private suites, gourmet meals crafted by our in-house chef, and immersive innovative therapies such as acupuncture, cupping, sauna retreats and cold-water plunges. Benefit from advanced diagnostics like sleep assessments and brain mapping, and harness the transformative power of adventure therapy.
Our extensive range of recreational offerings span from a challenging high/low ropes course to peaceful labyrinth walks. Dive into our pool, pick up a game on the basketball or pickleball courts, explore scenic hiking trails, and reconnect with nature through horseback riding. For a dose of creative and spiritual nourishment, partake in yoga, art therapy, our state-of-the-art music recording studio, or get in a workout in our fully-equipped gym.
Sabino Recovery is a place of kindness, professionalism, and healing. Our treatment staff consists of carefully selected, highly credentialed, licensed individuals who work in a team environment to deliver care to our residents. Each employee at Sabino Recovery is carefully interviewed before being considered for our team. We handpick our staff not only for their experience and skill, but also for possessing a great deal of empathy, nurturing, and compassion. It is because of this careful selection process that we’ve created a remarkable environment of mutuality, kindness, and safety.
Effective mental health and substance abuse treatment is lasting care and the hallmark of an individualized treatment plan is how well it fits into your life. Preparing to engage in your life after treatment is as important as the treatment you receive. Being able to continue applying the new knowledge, tools and strategies learned in treatment is crucial.
As you move through the program, you and your therapist begin to understand what therapies you respond to and benefit from. This allows us to help you incorporate them into your everyday life at home. You will have important questions to answer about your family, life, career, and continued recovery. Successful recovery means being prepared to leave treatment with a plan to address the issues that these questions present and the resources to create that plan.
At Sabino Recovery we understand that lasting recovery for our residents depends on the involvement of those closest to them. We invite each resident, their families, and/or significant loved ones to participate in our Family Program – a three and a half day, experiential program designed to reconnect you with those individuals most important to your recovery. Our family program has been developed to provide family members the opportunity to gain insight into their family’s dynamics, and to support the honest and effective communication of fears, pain, and hope in a safe environment.
We emphasize not assigning blame to anyone during this time but rather encourage discovery and compassionate understanding of each other through safely guided exercises.

Embodying the organization’s mission and values, the leadership and staff are available around the clock, ensuring a profound integration of cutting-edge, trauma-focused care.

I am so happy that I chose Sabino to begin my recovery. I have suffered for years from depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD. The programs that are offered here at Sabino have been truly phenomenal in helping me recover. I also appreciated the professional staff that are here on duty 24/7, which helps create a safe environment. Sabino Recovery uses effective “one on one” methods that meet each person’s individual needs because they evaluate and have a better understanding of your personal traumatic experiences. Thanks Sabino, I am truly grateful to you and the Sabino family.
J.A.
A beautiful facility! Staff sets the tone and kindness that residents easily follow. Thank you, Sabino Recovery!
Pamela
The program at Sabino Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Sabino Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Sabino Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.
Mike
Life changing experience. Wonderful staff. Wonderful program. Thanks for everything!
Darcy
It was great to begin my recovery in a group environment with so many knowledgeable nurses, therapists, BHT’s, and others around for support. The equine therapy, challenge course, family week, and daily therapies all work together seamlessly, allowing me to leave Sabino as a healthier and stronger person!

Clinically Driven
As a privately owned treatment center, we have autonomy regarding all clinical decisions and treatment planning. For this reason we have the capacity to individualize a person’s treatment regimen based on the entire person and not just the diagnosis.
True Individualization
Treatment plans are developed around the specific needs of each resident. There are no “treatment tracks,” which means each resident’s treatment plan is developed after the person arrives. In addition, progress is closely monitored and the multi-disciplinary team makes real-time adjustments based on the resident’s needs.
Comprehensive Treatment
The past, present, and future are all equally important to recovery and hold keys to unlocking resources and abilities one may have forgotten they had. The effects of trauma, alcoholism, and addiction are complex and play out in different ways for each person. At our Tucson, Arizona rehab, our approach balances accurate assessment and diagnosis with sophisticated treatment and careful discharge planning.
Length of Stay
Our treatment programs are 35 to 60 days long, with 45 days being the most common. In rare cases this may be extended to 90 days if necessary.
We accept a limited number of patients into the program, which creates an intimate setting that provides the flexibility to customize treatment plans for everyone. In addition to the various group therapies offered at Sabino, each resident will receive over 47 individual therapy sessions within the 35-day program. This offers a perfect balance of one-on-one and group sessions.
Mental Health, Addiction, or Dual Diagnosis
At Sabino, having a substance use disorder or a dual diagnosis is not a prerequisite to receive treatment. Most of our clients have some form of trauma that affects their emotional well-being, but not all of them struggle with addiction.
Our programs are meticulously tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. If addiction isn’t a factor for a client, then more focus will be dedicated to addressing underlying emotional and psychological challenges, as well as developing the tools to navigate life’s stressors in a healthy and resilient manner.
Neurotherapy & Psychotherapy
Our multidimensional approach takes advantage of a variety of research based modalities and the latest research in neuroscience. Each of the modalities that we employ is informed by what we now know about the brain, what we can learn about the particular individuality of each resident, and how we can craft a treatment plan specific to each resident.
Primary Trauma Modalities
For trauma treatment we use the following modalities: EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Psychodrama, Mindfulness, Equine Assisted Therapy, IFS/ Internal Family Systems, Brain Spotting, Gestalt, Attachment Theory, Adlerian Therapy and Existential Therapy.
Integrative Therapies
We employ integrative therapies such as massage, acupuncture, art therapy, outdoor adventure, and yoga are not adjunct treatment; they are a critical part of the entire clinical program. These therapies provide important down-regulation of the hyperactive nervous systems for those who suffer from trauma, and anxiety as well as deliver mood-enhancing benefits to depressive symptoms. These modalities also help reduce impulsivity, improve focus and attention, and develop problem-solving skills. Additional therapies include cupping, reiki, bioenergetics medicine, myofascial release approach, breathwork with reiki, biofield tuning, cranial sacral, somatic experiencing, EMDR, brain mapping + neurofeedback, equine therapy, and horseback riding.
Insurance at Sabino Recovery
We accept most PPO insurance plans as an out-of-network provider and we are in-network with Compsych. We do not accept Medicare/Medicaid, AHCCSS or Tricare.
Upscale Treatment & Recreation
At Sabino Recovery we want to ensure your stay is not only comfortable, but full of recreational experiences that entertain and challenge you, all while teaching important skills for your mental health and sobriety. As a boutique, privately owned program, our treatment and amenities are world-class. We offer private and upgraded suites, an onsite chef, acupuncture, cupping, sauna, cold water immersion, sleep screening, brain mapping, adventure therapy, and more.

A Wise Mind Podcast
We started the A Wise Mind podcast to break down the stigma of recovery by having open conversations about everything related to trauma, addiction, and mental health. We intend to demystify complicated topics and start conversations that many people need to have but might not have the tools to start. We also take a deep dive into the Sabino Way and how our treatment facility adapts to an ever-changing industry.
We answer some of your questions about trauma and recovery and hope to create a safe space for compassionate curiosity. The issues of trauma and addiction are complicated and often fraught. Many people who experience addiction are ashamed and feel like they can’t talk about what’s going on. At Sabino, we are committed to educating people who are in addiction about their options for recovery and their loved ones about the experiences of addiction and trauma.
