Does Sierra Tucson have telephones available for use?
The telephones located in the lodges are turned on and off during certain periods every day to allow patients to communicate with their family and to return phone messages that have been left for them. Phone cards are available for purchase in the bookstore. In order to ensure a therapeutic milieu, however, it is the policy of Sierra Tucson that during the first three days of treatment, patients do not make any telephone calls. Upon admission, patients are allowed to call (under nursing supervision) a significant other person to advise of their safe arrival.
