Sabino Recovery

Sabino Recovery is a luxury inpatient treatment program for men and women who are struggling with alcohol and drug addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders. Sabino Recovery employs their own treatment model that is known as the Sabino Model, and it focuses on trauma-informed care. The model was created by the founder's wife after losing her teenage daughter in a tragic car accident in 2006. Prior to admittance, clients must have blood work done at an on-site lab so the staff can be aware of any food sensitivities, thyroid issues, or any other potential concerns. A non-medical detox is available with a nursing staff on hand to provide around-the-clock supervision. To create the best individualized plan, clients undergo a comprehensive assessment. The Sabino Model combines evidence-based therapies, holistic therapies, and experiential therapies together using traditional psychotherapy and psychiatry, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and neuroplasticity. Other treatments consist of group and individual therapy sessions, movement therapy, yoga therapy, craniosacral therapy, massage, acupuncture, shiatsu, and equine therapy. Sabino Recovery provides a facilitation to the 12-Step program. On average, treatment lasts 35 days and can cost $45,000+. Sabino Recovery has a staff to client ratio of 1:4.

Sabino Recovery is accredited by CARF. They can work with many commercial insurance companies as an out-of-network provider. However, they do not accept Medicaid or AHCCCS.
