About La Frontera Center – Sonora House
The Sonora House was a safe haven that operated under La Frontera Center. This was a residential home in Tucson, Arizona that offered a safe place for unsheltered men to live as they worked through addiction struggles. Unlike most sober homes that are strictly alcohol free, the Sonora House worked with men in all stages of recovery, including those who were still struggling with that often difficult first step to seek care.
Unfortunately, this Safe Haven shelter has since closed its doors. La Frontera Center, however, is still operational and continues to provide a wealth of addiction treatment, recovery, and housing services to men and women throughout the region.
Supportive, Safe Living
The Sonora House allowed men to live in a safe and supportive home where they could refocus their life and recovery goals. You would have found a supportive group of residents living here as well.
The residents engaged in a lot of community activities with one another. For example, the residents started a garden that encourages them to engage in healthy, productive habits like goal setting, structured routine, and teamwork.
Overall, the residents here built a supportive community that they could turn to when they needed it. It was also a community where you felt encouraged and empowered to seek out recovery services when you were ready.
Wraparound Care Through the Frontier Center
Many of the people who lived in the Sonora House continue to receive services through La Frontier Center. This might include counseling for their addiction or mental health struggles, access to specialized groups like DUI programming Family Support Services, and even veteran services.
You would have also had access to medication assisted treatment and other therapies to help you on your journey to recovery.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
