Long term drug rehab, Back 2 Basics is providing services to young men by using the outdoors as well as effective therapeutic modalities to treat young men suffering from drug addiction or alcoholism.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

Back 2 Basics, a long term drug and alcohol treatment facility, is providing young men a new chance at life with some unique approaches. Drug and alcohol rehabs have historically taken place in a hospital like setting with florescent lightening and for a maximum of a 30 day treatment. Statistically, this method has been proven to be “not enough” as less than ten percent of clients of these rehabs stay sober more than a year. However, statistics regarding drug use show that 90 to 180 day treatment centers have proven to be effective for addicts and alcoholics.

The Back 2 Basics model is both therapeutic and experiential. It’s based firmly in the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and emphasizes established modes of recovery. But its founders also believe that in addition to just getting sober, residents must be introduced to a full and active sober life in order to succeed.

As a case in point, the Spanish Immersion Program, which is a curriculum of Back 2 Basics focuses on sobriety, but also emphasizes cultural exposure and community service in other parts of the world.

Joined by Roy Duprez, CEO & Founder of Back 2 Basics, residents participated in Spanish lessons, performed community service at a local orphanage, beach clean up, and took surfing lessons—even as they doubled attendance at the local AA meetings.

For all of the residents, the trip was a chance to explore the world outside of alcohol and drug addiction.

Back 2 Basics has been implementing a new new approach on how to treat these young men. Finding a drug and alcohol rehab for young men can be difficult, Back 2 Basics is offering a new solution based in Northern Arizona, which is near many beautiful outdoor experiences in addition to Northern Arizona University.
