Back2Basics, a multiphase outdoor adventure recovery program for men, is pleased to announce its nationally accredited and licensed treatment program is celebrating 10 years. The experiential wilderness rehab and treatment program was developed and launched in 2010 to help young men, ages 18-35, with substance abuse and behavioral health issues to make meaningful life changes and enter into a life of sobriety.
Back2Basics Outdoor Adventure Recovery’s six-month inpatient program, which is 12-step based, focuses on clearing the minds and bodies of its clients through active engagement in the serene wilderness combined with therapeutic counseling. Activities, which include snowboarding, surfing, mountain biking, river rafting, hiking and various other outdoor sports, challenge each participant mentally and physically, allowing them to gain a renewed sense of self that empowers and elevates their confidence, improves life skills through education and career counseling and often leads to a new outlook on life.
Understanding adventure therapy benefits can help families evaluate whether this experiential model is the right fit for their son.
“When I think about the many young men from around the United States who have participated in and benefitted from the Back2Basics experience over the past decade, I am incredibly proud of them for having the courage to make sustained changes in their lives that have given them a life of sobriety,” said Roy DuPrez, founder of Back2Basics Outdoor Adventure Recovery. “And, I know I speak for our entire team at Back2Basics when I say how rewarding it is to be part of a person’s recovery – we recognize that addiction and behavioral health issues are daunting and usually life-threatening, particularly if untreated. Providing a program that offers young men a new kind of life gives each of us purpose.”
The nationally licensed and accredited rehab program, which was developed in conjunction with behavioral health and substance abuse experts, is based on a comprehensive structure of treatment, therapeutic options, outdoor adventure, educational needs, nutritional guidance, legal responsibilities, camaraderie, community involvement and daily fitness. Participants in Back2Basics are young men seeking treatment for drug addiction, alcoholism and/or behavioral health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, unresolved mental or emotional trauma, depression, or dual diagnosis.
By combining addiction treatment with experiential outdoor adventures participants are physically challenged and become re-acquainted with basic life skills and develop new habits and tools while establishing a new mindset that prepares them for a rewarding sober lifestyle. Learn practical steps for building sustainable daily habits and becoming a better man through structure, accountability, and personal growth.
As a six-month inpatient rehabilitation treatment program, Back2Basics also provides a safe place for participants to be away from influences that have contributed to their addiction issues and have time to get into a sober routine, build strong male friendships, make healthy decisions and learn how to step out of their comfort zone and face their fears while in a supportive environment that helps them on the road of recovery. During its ten years of providing rehabilitation and treatment services, the program has served nearly 250 families and played an integral role in helping young men to embark on their life in recovery. Below are testimonials from several Back2Basics program participants:
“Truly, B2B is one of the best decisions I ever made. If you are as sick as me, or if you’re searching for dope every day and living a life of misery, you need this program. Take it from a junky– myself. Through B2B I’ve been given my life again. I was living every day smoking dope and popping pills and constantly trying to rob, steal, and lie my way to get what I wanted– a life full of sin. Now B2B has showed me paths to real moral greatness doing what is honestly right in life and guiding me in the right direction in life. I thank B2B every day for my sobriety and my new outlook on life.”
“The two biggest obstacles I faced before coming to Back2Basics were willingness and fear. I didn’t think I had a problem and so I didn’t think I needed rehab. I was also very fearful of the man I would discover when becoming sober. Back2Basics, in simple terms, has given me my will to live back and it has given me hope for a better life without reliance on drugs and that is something I never thought possible.…I am generally happy for the first time in years. I am so thankful to my parents for sending me here because they recognized I had a problem before I did and made the hard decision to send me here and to invest in helping me.”
