Drug Addiction Treatment Center: Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

Sierra Tucson's reputation as a leader in drug addiction treatment stems from its success in treating each patient as a whole person. While at Sierra Tucson, experts in their fields will help you recover from your addiction while addressing any underlying disorders you may have. This unique ability to address your individual needs is brought about by incorporating psychiatric, medical, and emerging alternative therapies, resulting in a powerful drug rehabilitation experience.

The basis for drug addiction treatment, as well as other addictions and disorders, is the innovative Sierra Model®, developed by Sierra Tucson. This model recognizes that all of us exist as mind, body, spirit, and emotions and integrates a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach to treatment. A variety of therapeutic modalities help patients understand the causes of emotional and behavioral disorders, which helps them learn to avoid subsequent addictions and dependencies during the recovery process.

Process groups are a central component of the drug rehab experience at our addiction treatment center. Patients undergo an individualized drug treatment program, which may include disease and recovery education, relapse prevention, 12-Step meetings, Equine-Assisted Therapy, Adventure Therapy, and Grief and Spirituality sessions. Specialty groups focus on specific areas of concern, such as compulsive behaviors, trauma recovery, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety or disorders. Nicotine cessation, cocaine and heroin addiction, alcohol addiction, and pharmaceutical drug addiction are among the issues addressed in our addictions programs.

The Family Program provides an opportunity for family members of patients undergoing drug rehabilitation, including children and teens 11-17 years of age, to participate in the recovery process. We have found that treating an individual within the context of the family system provides a much stronger foundation for recovery from drug addiction and also gives understanding, support, education, and healing to the family.

Treatment modalities at our substance abuse rehabilitation program include experiential therapies, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Integrative Therapies, and medication management, as necessary. This dynamic process develops as the drug rehabilitation experience unfolds for each individual patient, and as the multidisciplinary treatment team assesses the patient's progress throughout his or her stay.
