Our story
Founded by People Who Understand Recovery
Desert Mountain Healing IOP was founded by Sean Roberts and Gary Gamboa because they believed addiction treatment could be delivered with greater compassion, integrity, accountability, and hope.
After experiencing recovery firsthand, they recognized that lasting recovery requires more than simply treating addiction. It requires hope, accountability, evidence-based care, and a treatment team that truly sees the person behind the diagnosis.
That belief became the foundation of Desert Mountain Healing IOP.
Today, every client who walks through our doors is treated as an individual—not a number. We believe recovery is possible for everyone, and our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment that empowers people to rebuild their lives.
Recovery begins with hope
Whether someone is seeking help for the first time or returning after a relapse, they will be welcomed without judgment and supported every step of the way.
Recovery begins with hope, grows through connection, and succeeds through compassionate care.
