Alumni Relations
“The time spent at Sierra Tucson was the true beginning of my journey. Not only did I overcome my addictions, but I began to focus on the root causes that created my compulsions. I understand myself so much better now.”

Tim McLeod, NCRC-II Director of Alumni Relations & Connect365
Tim McLeod joined the Sierra Tucson team as Alumni Coordinator in February 2001 and was named Director of Alumni Relations & Connect365 in May 2018. After struggling with addictions for 27 years, he came to Sierra Tucson for treatment in the fall of 1999. “I can honestly say that the ‘Promises’ of the program have continued to unfold,” he says. Tim also attended the Sierra Tucson Family Program when a family member entered treatment. His experience and empathy give him a deep passion for supporting Sierra Tucson alumni. His personal mission statement: encourage the struggling; celebrate the miracles, and always bring the love.

Robert Lachapelle, NCRC-II Alumni Coordinator & Lead Connect365 Coach
Robert Lachapelle joined the Sierra Tucson team in the summer of 2011 as a Clinical Tech. After several interventions pertaining to his drug and alcohol abuse, he reluctantly admitted into treatment at Sierra Tucson in July 2009. Sierra Tucson not only saved his life, it provided him a life! He quickly learned that miracles were acting upon him and it was then that he knew that he had to be a part of the miracles for those that sought treatment at Sierra Tucson. In October 2015, Robert joined the Connect365 team as a Recovery Coach and was named Lead Recovery Coach in April 2018. Robert has joined the Alumni Relations team in April 2019 and is excited to continue encouraging and supporting the Sierra Tucson Alumni along the West Coast and International Region. He understands the courage that it takes to seek treatment, the hard work involved, the importance of ongoing support, and that it is okay to lean on others.
