FAQs
Does Sabino Recovery use medication as part of treatment?
Yes. Medication-assisted treatment is part of the approach, and medication management sits alongside counseling and behavioral therapies. The treatment is individualized and provided for adults.
How long does the residential program last?
Thirty-five days is the minimum. A stay can be extended up to 90 days when that is clinically appropriate, so the length is set by what the person needs rather than a fixed schedule.
Does the center take Medicaid or Medicare?
No. Neither Medicaid nor Medicare is accepted, and Tricare and AHCCCS are not accepted either. The program is private pay by design. Some major healthcare carriers are taken as an out-of-network provider, which can bring the price of treatment down.
