About Our Holistic, Non-12-Step Program

At The Sanctuary at Sedona, we go beyond the formulaic 12-step recovery model to find solutions that work for you. Although the 12 step model has been helpful for some, many people need a different perspective and to go deeper into the underlying causes of addiction and mental health issues. 

Our holistic approach includes all the traditional treatment protocols and then goes way beyond, and picks up where these programs have fallen short. Your 30-day all-inclusive clinical recovery program is completely personalized, allowing you to reach deep inside and discover how your thoughts and beliefs influence your behaviors and the outcomes in your life. By the end of your stay, you will feel better physically and emotionally, have an arsenal of tools for sustained recovery, and have hope and confidence to live the life you deserve.

You don’t have to have a substance use disorder to attend our holistic mental health recovery program to treat your depression, anxiety or trauma. Our functional medicine approach to mental health includes a complete evaluation by our medical team to rebalance, reduce or eliminate medication, based on your unique circumstances and needs. Our focus is to identify and resolve the root cause of your mental distress and to go beyond symptom management.

The Sanctuary at Sedona: Discover What Makes Us Different

MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION RECOVERY CENTER LOCATED OUTSIDE SEDONA, ARIZONA

The Sanctuary is an All-Inclusive Residential, Integrative, Holistic Non 12 Step Recovery Center.

Nestled among the red rocks just outside Sedona, Arizona, is a haven for those struggling with addiction, trauma and co-occurring mental or emotional health issues. The Sanctuary at Sedona is a holistic and all-inclusive recovery center that helps identify and heal the underlying causes of addiction, as well as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

We believe change can only be complete and sustainable with a holistic, harmonious approach to wellness. Within our beautiful and secluded 22-acre campus, we utilize a multi-model integrative approach to recovery with all-inclusive therapies and integrative treatments. We forgo the formulaic 12-step model in favor of a comprehensive transformational therapeutic process that seamlessly blends the latest peer-reviewed science with Indigenous wisdom traditions.

Our holistic approach does more than incorporate meditation or yoga into traditional treatment methods. Your 30-day all-inclusive holistic clinical recovery program is completely personalized that allows you to reach deep inside and discover what it takes to heal your body, repair your brain and recover your soul.

 

Advanced Therapies for Lasting Change

Each of our 30-day core recovery programs offers a comprehensive treatment experience that includes more clinical and integrative sessions than any other recovery center. You get more individualized therapies, more integrative therapies and more campus amenities than any other treatment program. 

Clinical Therapies

Our clinical evidence-based therapies are designed to help clients discover triggers, identify co-occurring disorders and manage withdrawal symptoms or nervous system dysregulation. Here are some of the therapies we offer:

  • Psychiatric assessment: Clients will undergo a full psychiatric evaluation upon coming to The Sanctuary for a baseline of their mental health status. Throughout the program, we will perform weekly follow-up sessions to gauge progress and adjust treatments as necessary. 
  • Functional medicine evaluation: functional medicine evaluation looks at unique genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors to identify root causes of addiction, trauma or burnout for rehabilitation. Specifically, we offer an 80-panel bloodwork diagnostic to create your personalized plan.
  • Individual and group therapy: Every day, clients will have one group and two private therapy sessions as part of their schedule. We believe it’s important to talk to a professional and others going through a similar situation to identify triggers and discover tools to aid recovery.
  • Optional family programs: We offer an optional four-day family program within the 30-day program. This opportunity allows a client’s family to stay at our facility and engage in individual and family sessions with their loved one.
  • Dual diagnosis treatment: Mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are often accompanied by substance misuse. And addictions are often related to mental health issues. Our whole-person approach includes identifying the deeper issues and helping clients find relief and sustained mental well-being.
  • Medication management: We offer medication management to help clients rebalance, reduce or eliminate prescribed or non-prescribed drugs. Through a slow pace, clients can best manage their ongoing withdrawal symptoms and comfortably detox from drugs or alcohol.

Integrative Treatments

We include integrative treatments alongside clinical therapies to help treat the mind, body and spirit. Some of the therapies we offer at The Sanctuary are:

  • Brain Body Recovery Lab: The Brain Body Recovery Lab at The Sanctuary consists of several personalized treatments according to a client’s initial psychiatric assessment. We can identify underlying imbalances, deficiencies, or conditions to guide us in treating low energy, sleep disorders, treatment-resistant symptoms, nervous system dysregulation limitations and more.
  • Biofeedback therapy: Biofeedback therapy uses sensors to measure levels of seemingly involuntary processes in the body, such as pain or relaxation. Through this data, we can teach clients various techniques to improve the mind-body connection and gain control of stress responses.
  • Ketamine-assisted therapy: Ketamine therapy has significant proven results for treating depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain and addiction. Ketamine-assisted treatment (KAT) is woven into our holistic process to help clients identify and address unconscious dysfunctional patterns and the impact these have on their lives.
  • IV therapy: In our on campus IV clinic, we offer NAD+, neural and vitamin IV therapies. IV therapies make the treatment experience more comfortable and more effective. These therapies provide increased energy, support detoxification, boost the immune system, reduce potential cravings, help improve sleep and reset the nervous system.
  • Energy medicine: The nervous system runs on electricity. This electricity creates a field of energy called the human biofield. Nervous system distress causes disruptions or blockages in this field, contributing to mental health issues. Balancing this energy is necessary to regulate the nervous system sustainably.
  • Yoga and meditation: We offer daily yoga and meditation classes during a client’s stay at The Sanctuary. Yoga and meditation have been clinically proven to help nervous system regulation, body-mind connection, physical well-being and trauma release and the art of being present.
  • Weekly activities: The Sanctuary offers additional weekly therapeutic activities, including trauma release breathwork, fire ceremony, sound healing, sweat lodge, off-campus hikes, nutrition classes and designated free time to connect with family, enjoy the 22-acre campus, swim in the river or enjoy a hike in the surrounding national forest.

Campus Amenities

The founder specifically designed The Sanctuary as a recovery retreat center on 22 acres surrounded by a national forest. We are a completely private, safe, quiet and beautiful space. What makes us absolutely unique is unlike most treatment centers, we are not corporate owned. Our founder, program director and eight additional staff live on campus, creating a sense of authenticity.

Some of our campus amenities include:

  • 24/7 staff accessibility: Because 10 staff members live on campus, as a client, you will have access to the staff 24/7, offering a uniquely safe and attentive treatment experience.
  • Private, luxury accommodations: All of our 14 rooms are private with their own bathrooms. 
  • Gourmet organic meals: The Sanctuary emphasizes the food-as-medicine philosophy. We have four chefs creating gourmet organic meals and dairy- and gluten-free options. We help clients change their diets to support sustained mental and physical well-being. And most importantly, the food is delicious.
  • Organic garden: We have an on-campus organic garden. This garden is another way to encourage clients to maintain a healthy, nutritious diet when leaving The Sanctuary.
  • State-of-the-art gym: Physical fitness is vital for holistic health. Regardless of your age, ability or fitness level, this gym has what you need to begin a journey toward greater health.

The Sanctuary continues to lead the way in holistic mental health and non-12-step addiction treatment. Our integrative mental health and addiction recovery programs deliver a one of a kind treatment experience treatment. You will feel safe, seen and cared for from the moment you arrive.

Here are just some ways The Sanctuary differs from typical rehab treatment centers:

  • We emphasize the highest-value treatment: Our programs are far more comprehensive than other treatment options by including more individual and group clinical hours, personal daily schedules and more holistic therapies. 
  • We perform psychiatric and medical assessments: Everyone receives a psychiatric evaluation by a licensed psychiatrist who you will see weekly. You will also receive a medical and dietary assessment by our medical staff. Our medical staff can help with medication management as needed. 
  • We are truly integrative: We don’t just add holistic modalities onto an antiquated treatment model. We create a healing experience tailored to your unique needs with all the clinical therapies and integrative treatments you require to find recovery.
  • We offer more than symptom management: We do more than focus on managing symptoms. We actively work with clients to get to the core issues underlying their addiction and mental health concerns.
  • We provide luxury accommodations and gourmet meals: Here, you’ll enjoy private accommodations and organic gourmet meals that emphasize overall nutrition. We are passionate about using food to power healing and wellness. You are what you eat.
  • We accept a small client size: At any given time, The Sanctuary accepts a maximum of 14 clients. This small scope allows us to get very personal, with most sessions being one-on-one with our team.
  • We designed our campus for recovery: Unlike sterile facilities in suburban settings, our 22-acre retreat center is surrounded by stunning National Forest Service land, providing a tranquil environment for recovery. It feels like a sacred place — a true retreat for the body, mind, soul and spirit.
  • We allow phone and computer access: The Sanctuary believes staying connected to your support system while in recovery is important. We also understand you may have work responsibilities that will need attention while you are here. As such, we allow you to keep your phone and computer throughout your stay.
  • We are not corporate owned: The Founder, the nine additional staff who live on campus, as well the other 35 staff and practitioners, each are dedicating their lives to helping others. This is not a job, it is a calling.
  • We integrate complementary treatments and life skills classes: In addition to a wide variety of evidence-based clinical therapies, we offer complementary treatments like energy medicine, trauma released breathwork, sweat lodge, hikes, yoga, meditation, nutrition classes, bodywork and fire ceremony. We also offer educational classes that provide practical tools for sustained recovery.
  • We have a strong alum community: Post-treatment, we offer a 30-day aftercare transition program to connect you with the people and resources you need to integrate your healing journey into your everyday life. In addition, we have a weekly alumni call, hosted by The Sanctuary staff. There are also Sanctuary alumni retreats.
