From my experience thus far, the facility is one of the most comfortable and personalized programs you can get. Giving clients comfort without compromising their care. Strengths: Private, Dual diagnosis, comfortable. Weaknesses: Not enough beds to help more people. Would like to see them with more levels of care available to help people.
After numerous trips to the ER and hospital stays I finally landed at ATMC. It was the one hospital that was able to help me get my life back. The staff is very caring, they take the residents on hikes, trips to the gym, the movies, etc. It's not perfect, but of all the hospitals I've stayed at, it's by far the best. It can feel a little disorganized and sometimes the schedule feels a bit intense, especially for someone who might be on heavy medication, but one gets used to it. I made some great friends there and was able to get off two heavy medications safely. They also offer some yoga and mindful movement classes. At first I was really unsure about the place, but I was much happier with it by the time I left and overall I'm glad I stayed there.
I am grateful I did not post a review soon after I discharged from 30 days at Sierra Tucson. At the time, I was unable to see or be made aware by my referring therapist of all the positive changes I made while in treatment. My only source of connection to the facility prior to admitting was my admissions coordinator; nervous is not a strong enough adjective to describe how I was feeling the day I arrived. I knew I needed help, but I kept wondering if there was another way than giving up 30 days of my life by hanging with a bunch of people I did not know. The first few days were a blur. My room was in an area where you stay when you first arrive. I was told I would be transferring to one of the lodges soon. During this time, I met with an MD, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, nutritionist, and exercise physiologist. One of the nurses took me on a tour and showed me where I would go for groups, meals, laundry facilities, etc. The food was fine, being a single person and not having to cook for myself was a win. Once I moved to a lodge, I met my roommate. The rooms were decent; I had a twin bed, in-room bathroom, bedding, pillows, towels, chair, and desk. I was grateful on the nights when my thoughts would race a nurse was there to listen. The campus is big; I am glad I packed accordingly for a lot of walking and warm weather. There was time available to use the gym, it was not large, but had what I needed. I learned people pleasing, codependency, and addictions were coping skills I developed early on as a way to cope and a series of test revealed my challenges with ADD and depression. The clinical team helped not only to reveal the trauma that was the undercurrent of my behaviors, but helped move me through the shame and the trap of living life as a victim. My biggest break through moment came when asked to present a timeline of my life to my therapist and primary group members. I was so ashamed and afraid when I taped this long roll of paper on the wall that revealed my earliest memories, darkest secrets and everything in between. I was not expecting the acceptance and support I received. The belief I carried for so many years that I was terminally unique was shattered; I am not alone! My primary therapist at Sierra Tucson provided my therapist back home with updates, which was nice, because I did not have to spend a lot time during my first session at home bringing my therapist up to speed. I chose to private pay, but I went ahead and requested the business office submit my final bill to insurance; I was excited and surprised when I received a check from insurance for half the cost. Looking back, it was by far not what I wanted to be doing at 34, but it was exactly what I needed. I am grateful I finally said, “I need help,” because my time at Sierra Tucson continues to pay dividends to this today. I like the man I have become, I have so many authentic / real relationships, I have moved on from the anger and pain I carried for so many years and most of all, I have hope. I am still a work in progress, but constantly reminded of how far I have come. Thank you Sierra Tucson, I am forever grateful.
