If there are a negative number of stars I can give this place, negative 5 stars would be appropriate. My wife was admitted to that place for trauma and depression primarily for medication changes in a supervised setting. During family week, they made us do a "listwork" exercise where you point out bad behaviors to each other and core feelings.

I went Sierra Tucson after getting a glowing review from a family friend and psychologist. Boy was I surprised.

Sierra Tucson is a joke. It is a terrible facility and the counselors are clueless. My wife (now exwife), went to the facility for Bipolar disorder. In addition, she was cheating on me. When I attended for "family week" they had labeled her as depressed and "love addicted." However, they allowed her boyfriend to talk to her on the phone and also send her cards, letters and flowers -- all while my daughter and I were there for the week to be supportive and helpful. The staff also promised to have a plan for us after leaving ... read more
