Lasting Transformation Requires an Unrivaled Standard of Care

An Uncompromised Investment in Sustainable Recovery

Choosing residential treatment is one of the most critical decisions you will ever make. Too often in luxury treatment, the initial price quoted is merely an entry ticket—followed by opaque billing, surprise laboratory invoices, and steep upcharges for fundamental clinical components or basic human comforts like private rooms.

At The Sanctuary at Sedona, we believe sustainable recovery requires radical honesty and total financial transparency. Our $55,000 monthly tuition is genuinely transparent and all-inclusive: covering your private room, intensive daily one-on-one therapies, integrative bodywork, anti-inflammatory gourmet cuisine, and dedicated direct care from both our psychiatrist and medical physician.


Redefining Value — True Inclusivity vs. Industry Add-Ons

When evaluating the cost of treatment, the critical question is what is actually delivered during your hours on campus. Most high-end facilities build their billing models around large group meetings and hidden add-on fees. Here is how our standard compares:

Care Dimension The Sanctuary Care Standard ($55,000 / Month) Common Industry Billing Practices
Private Accommodations Private room Included — Dedicated, serene private living quarters designed for nervous system down-regulation. Shared Rooms Standard — Steep upcharges ($10,000–$20,000/month) required to secure a private room.
Psychiatric Care Weekly Private Psychiatric Care — Dedicated weekly sessions for deep diagnostic review, trauma processing, and rational medication reduction. Brief Monthly Reviews — Standard 15-minute monthly med checks or intake-only oversight with mid-level providers.
Medical Oversight Twice-Weekly Naturopathic Consultations Acute Care Only — Initial intake nurse assessment; outside physician consultations billed separately off-campus.
Integrative Therapies Integrative Bodywork & Somatics Included — Bodywork, Breathwork, Yoga, Meditation, Eco-therapy, sweatlodge, and acupuncture fully built into your clinical schedule. A La Carte Spa Fees — Billed per session ($250–$400/hr) as specialized luxury add-ons.
Nutritional Medicine 100% Organic, Seed-Oil-Free Gourmet Cuisine — Anti-inflammatory culinary medicine specifically prepared to heal the gut-brain axis. Institutional Catering — General food service; specialized nutritional or anti-inflammatory diets charged as extra upgrades.

The Real Reason Why We Don't Accept Medical Insurance

Making decisions about treatment for yourself or your loved one is never easy, but at The Sanctuary, we know that full recovery is possible. Our program is fully personalized and focuses on identifying and resolving the core issues behind addiction, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

In our experience, insurance companies do not cover holistic addiction recovery, and behavioral health issues such as depression, anxiety, codependency, trauma, and PTSD.

We are unable to accept:

  • All Insurance
  • Medicaid
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • AETNA
  • AHCCCS
  • VA insurance
  • State insurance

Our Single A La Carte Component

The Specialized IV Up-Regulation Lab

While your entire therapeutic schedule, psychiatric care, medical consultations, private room, and organic meals are covered under our transparent tuition, we treat intravenous therapy with distinct clinical precision.

Every individual arrives with unique biochemical depletion, mitochondrial exhaustion, and toxicity markers. Rather than forcing clients into a standardized, one-size-fits-all IV package artificially bundled into the base fee, our on-campus IV Up-Regulation Lab operates strictly a la carte. Following your comprehensive medical evaluation, our physician formulates a targeted IV prescription tailored to your exact cellular needs:

  • Mitochondrial & Cellular Rejuvenation (NAD+): Rapidly restores cellular ATP, repairs DNA damage, and mitigates withdrawal fatigue and cravings.
  • Master Antioxidant Defense (Glutathione & Alpha-Lipoic Acid): Neutralizes systemic oxidative stress, resolves neuro-inflammation, and supports hepatic Phase II detox pathways.
  • Targeted Amino Acid & Neuro-Nutrient Infusions: Supplies direct biochemical precursors required to regenerate serotonin, dopamine, and GABA neurotransmitter reserves.

(Customized recovery packages typically range from $1,175 to $4,300 depending on medical scope. By keeping the IV lab separate, you only invest in the exact biochemical nutrients your body requires.)

Insurance, Superbills & Out-of-Network Reimbursement

 

Protecting Your Standard of Care

When seeking residential treatment, clinical transformation, biological restoration, and emotional root-cause resolution must remain the sole priorities. Managed-care insurance models are fundamentally designed around corporate cost-containment rather than comprehensive healing.

At The Sanctuary at Sedona, we deliberately choose not to contract directly with insurance companies. We refuse to allow insurance adjusters into our clinical rooms to dictate how long you stay or force premature step-downs to outpatient care.

Advanced Clinical Documentation & Superbills

While we do not allow third-party payers to alter your treatment plan, we recognize that many clients hold PPO insurance policies with out-of-network behavioral health benefits. To support you in seeking independent reimbursement, we provide:

  1. Detailed Medical Necessity Narratives: Documented with granular precision, mapped to standardized DSM-5 and ICD-10 diagnostic frameworks.
  2. Comprehensive Itemized Superbills: Upon program completion, you receive an exhaustive Superbill containing standard revenue codes, procedure codes (CPT), and verified provider identifiers (NPI and taxonomy) required by insurance clearinghouses.
  3. Turnkey Submission Guidance: Clear, step-by-step instructions on how to submit your documentation directly to your insurer.
  4. Advocacy Resources: Direct guidance on how to navigate internal insurance appeals and regulatory reviews independently. We provide one complimentary hour of independent advocacy support to help guide you on how to effectively advocate for yourself throughout the appeal process.

Important Reimbursement Policy Notice:
The Sanctuary at Sedona is a private-pay, out-of-network residential facility. Payment in full is required prior to admission. While we provide detailed, professionally coded Superbills generated by advanced clinical software to support your independent filing, The Sanctuary at Sedona cannot and does not guarantee, promise, or predict any level of insurance reimbursement. Every insurance policy represents an independent contract between the policyholder and their insurer.
