The Sanctuary at Sedona is a residential, non-twelve-step treatment center situated on twenty-two acres in the red rock country of Cornville, Arizona, specializing in the integrative treatment of addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Founded by Dean Taraborelli, the program distinguishes itself through a clinical architecture that systematically integrates functional medicine evaluation, psychotherapeutic modalities including EMDR and somatic experiencing, and complementary practices such as energy medicine, acupuncture, breathwork, and ceremony. The medical team conducts comprehensive laboratory and nutritional assessments to identify root physiological contributors to psychiatric symptoms, addressing hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and toxicological burdens alongside psychological treatment. Advanced modalities include ketamine-assisted treatment, NAD+ infusion therapy, and IV micronutrient protocols designed to support neurological repair. The facility employs approximately forty professionals, including ten resident practitioners who provide continuous holistic care. The Sanctuary's treatment philosophy reflects a conviction that sustainable recovery requires simultaneous engagement of body, mind, and spirit, positioning it within a lineage of integrative medicine that draws from both contemporary neuroscience and indigenous healing traditions.

Modalities

Depth elements

The Sanctuary at Sedona operates from a genuinely integrative clinical philosophy that fuses Western functional medicine diagnostics with somatic, energetic, and contemplative modalities. Rather than appending holistic therapies as adjuncts, the program weaves functional medicine lab work, somatic experiencing, energy medicine, and ceremony-based practices into a unified treatment arc addressing the neurobiological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of addiction and trauma.
