The Sanctuary Story.
A story of true commitment over 20 years in the making.
From humble beginnings through a challenging journey marked by mental health struggles and substance use, a story of True Healing & Continued Care™ was taking shape.
Joseph Landin - Founder
Founded by Joseph Landin over 20 years ago, Sanctuary Recovery Centers started off with one home. His home. It has since grown into more than 10 facilities focused on mental health treatment with integrated substance use disorder care throughout the Phoenix Metro Area.
The Sanctuary Story is one of hope. Joe started the organization after his own journey from homelessness and addiction. Joe is incredibly passionate about recovery and being a beacon of light in the community.
A Phoenix, Arizona Based
Mental Health & Recovery Treatment Center
People know Joe. A circle of influential recovery specialists formed in the early stages of developing this Phoenix-based treatment center.
It’s the people that matter. Joe has always shown a commitment to being a community leader and organizer – putting people together, regardless of their business or affiliation, in order to serve the main mission of True Healing and Continued Care.
Housing People On Their Journey
