Addiction Counseling & Therapeutic Methods

Back2Basics Recovery offers comprehensive addiction counseling in Flagstaff, Arizona, combining evidence-based therapeutic methods with outdoor adventure to support lasting sobriety. Our licensed therapists guide each client through personalized individual and group counseling, 12-step programming, and community-based recovery throughout their entire stay.

Our Integrative Approach to Substance Abuse Counseling

Addiction counseling is a structured, evidence-based clinical process that helps individuals identify the psychological roots of substance use and develop lasting skills for sustained recovery. At Back2Basics, individual and group counseling sessions are led by licensed therapists and clinically supervised master’s-level counselors — the same clinical team throughout each client’s entire stay.

This consistency, combined with 12-step meetings and community service components, supports a well-rounded approach to sober living.

How Our Recovery Counseling Process Works

We begin with a thorough process inventory exploring each client’s history with substance use, its impact on themselves and others, and the emotional weight of guilt and shame. This initial storytelling phase can span from one month to the entire length of stay.

From there, we explore the underlying causes and conditions of addiction, encouraging deep self-awareness of the personality traits that coexist with substance abuse. All therapeutic work is client-centered.

How Our Recovery Counseling Process Works

Group Therapy

It is best to use the “power of the group” (group involvement) for interventions such as confrontation on specific individual issues, peer pressure, modeling by other members, and personal non-sexual connections. Group therapy is integral to the Back2Basics program.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions provide a trusted, non-threatening space to address deeply personal issues. Topics explored in one-on-one sessions can be brought to group therapy at the client's discretion.

Back2Basics accepts most private health insurance plans. To verify your benefits, simply complete an admissions form to get started.

Extended Support: 12-Step, Community Service & Sobriety Accountability

12-Step Meetings

12-step meeting topics include sobriety, relapse prevention, coping skills, spirituality, honesty, self-care, and post-acute withdrawal. These discussions support clients in building the tools and perspective needed for sustainable recovery.

The primary goal at Back2Basics is a well-rounded, sober lifestyle — physical, emotional, and spiritual. This transformation requires meaningful support from a 12-step community, sponsors, and licensed therapists.

Community Services

Clients participate in community service activities as a method of therapy for recovery. Community service promotes social responsibility and assists in the progress of a sober lifestyle.

Sobriety Checks

To support the recovery process and ensure the wellness of all the clients, Back2Basics administers frequent urine analyses. Relapse can often be part of recovery, however, continued relapse cannot be tolerated for that reason. Continued, health-driven sobriety of
each client is our primary goal.
