Residential Manager at Back2Basics Outdoor Adventure Recovery - Flagstaff, Arizona, United States
Back2Basics is an outdoor adventure recovery program for young adult males, from ages 18-30, with substance abuse issues looking for a positive and meaningful life. In our program clients are exposed to a weekly combination of wilderness and addiction treatment program that have proven to be successful in recovery.Our Outdoor Adventure Recovery program focuses on spending time in nature where minds are cleared and bodies are physically challenged. There, clients experience a variety of adventures—from mountain biking and snowboarding to surfing and river rafting—that challenge them both mentally and physically. In the outdoor program, after scaling cliffs and concurring mountains, we have found clients are left with a renewed sense of self and are empowered to be their best. This inherently leads to elevated self-confidence, improved life skills and, often times, a different outlook on life.The addiction treatment program component is truly about going back to the basics and practicing simple life skills. Addiction treatment life provides clients the opportunity to participate in therapeutic individual and group counseling, 12- step meetings, recreational activities, nutritional/culinary classes and community integration. Each element allows clients time and space to get comfortable in their own sobriety and practice living in recovery.A six-month program ensures the client have time to get into a sober routine, make healthy life decisions, build strong male friendships, learn how to step out of their comfort zone and face their fears while having the support necessary to stay on the road to long term recovery.
