Alcoholism / Alcohol Addiction Treatment Center: Alcohol Treatment Programs

At Sierra Tucson's internationally-renowned alcohol treatment center, you won't just be undergoing rehab. During your time at Sierra Tucson, you will be exposed to innovative programs that can effectively treat you holistically, from your alcohol addiction to any underlying disorders you may have. We have found that the most effective treatment for alcohol addiction includes individual and group therapy, family programs, experiential therapies, and spirituality to target all aspects of addiction.

Sierra Tucson's alcohol treatment center bases treatment on its innovative Sierra Model®, which integrates philosophies and practices from the medical, psychological, therapeutic, and self-help communities. Our whole-person approach to alcohol rehabilitation looks at all aspects of each individual, and incorporates the 12-Step philosophy for a powerful treatment experience.

Process groups are a central component of the treatment experience. In groups of six to eight people, individuals are provided the support and understanding needed for successful rehabilitation from alcohol dependence. Patients are also provided an individualized treatment plan, which may include disease and recovery education, relapse prevention, 12-Step meetings, Equine-Assisted Therapy, Adventure Therapy, and Grief and Spirituality sessions.

With the understanding that alcoholism is often triggered by an underlying disorder, experts at our alcohol treatment center effectively address the needs of patients having one or several diagnoses. 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, and pharmaceutical drug addiction are among the issues addressed in our addictions programs.

Patients are exposed to a variety of treatments that will put them on the path to a long-term recovery from alcoholism. Modalities of treatment include experiential therapies, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodrama, Integrative Therapies, and medication management. Patients are assessed throughout their stay at Sierra Tucson to determine the appropriate type of treatment at each stage of alcohol rehab. Patients will also learn about relapse triggers and relapse-prevention strategies.

The Sierra Model® emphasizes the involvement of family members during a patient's treatment. Sierra Tucson's Family Program provides an opportunity for family members, including children and teens ages 11-17, to participate in the recovery process. Treating an individual within the context of the family system provides a much stronger foundation for recovery from alcohol dependence and also gives understanding, support, education, and healing to the family.
