Arizona- Former Rep. Mark Foley checked himself into the Sierra Tucson Treatment Center in Arizona two days after he resigned from Congress in disgrace, ABC News has learned.
Lawyers for Foley confirm he’s been an inpatient at the facility since Oct. 1.
Sierra Tucson advertises itself as a place where “pain is met with compassion, fear is met with reassurance, and anger is met with understanding.” In addition to treating drug and alcohol abuse, it is “licensed to facilitate healing for psychiatric issues,” including “Sexual Addiction/Compulsivity.”
A typical 30-day inpatient program costs about $30,000.
As he approaches the end of that period, Foley could be expected to go through “family week” where close friends and family members are invited to join him and meet with counselors.
Foley resigned from Congress Sept. 29 after ABC News obtained sexually explicit instant messages he sent to two former pages who were still in high school.
