"Desert Mountain healing has been a God sent in my recovery. Had I known about this group I could have been sober years ago, and avoided a federal case. But as I move forward being out now 5 months I've gotten my son back, maintaining my sobriety, and meeting some amazing people. If you are seeking a sober life this is the place to go!!! 10000000 and 1 starts. Shawn, Gman, Tatiana, Michelle, Rachel, Jennifer, Christina, Regina if I've missed anyone I'm sorry. But just to name a few these people are amazing!!!! Love you all from David and Bear 🐻"
"I was a former drug addict. I give this facility credit for my success and recovery. Every single staff member is someone who came from substance abuse, including the owners. Every single staff member is in recovery. This place gives you a different perspective because of that. They understand in a different way. From the combination of professional education and wisdom, you can't get better treatment anywhere else. I myself have seen others strive because of this place. I have absolutely no complaints. Also, they remember your name not your patient number. They're small business that is locally owned. Not a corporation. Very thankful for you guys!"
"I was lost until I found this place they took me in with no judgment at all they really do care about everyone's well being and I'm grateful for them if you ever having a hard time with any type of addiction they will help you and guide you into the right path for you"
"I was at death's door with my addiction. I owe my life to this place. The staff are some of the most caring and understanding people I've ever met. I didn't think I could escape my miserable life. This has allowed me to turn over a new lead and be truly happy again."
"It works. I can honestly say this place is the reason I'm sober. The group support, the staff, the fact that this place thrives off of addicts helping other addicts is key to my success. Thank you everyone at DMH I will continue my journey with you all. Highly recommend. If you're struggling, reach out."

Submit Your ReviewStaff Who Understand Recovery Personally
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.
