This trip, our group spent time outdoors building connection, resilience, and momentum in recovery. Through scenic hikes, shared meals, and nightly AA meetings, the guys supported one another while pushing through physical and mental challenges.

Despite cold temperatures, spirits stayed high as the weekend wrapped with reflection, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of confidence—reminding us how powerful shared experiences in nature can be on the path to sobriety.

The Importance of Men’s-Specific Treatment in Addressing Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Mental health and substance abuse affect individuals across all ages, backgrounds, and professions. Yet men often face unique challenges when it comes to recognizing symptoms, seeking help, and engaging fully in treatment.

Research consistently shows that men are less likely to talk openly about their struggles with mental health or substance use, which can delay intervention and deepen the impact of these issues.

Understanding why men are less likely to seek help—and how treatment can be better designed to meet their needs—is critical to improving outcomes and supporting long-term recovery.

“After my first visit with my son at B2B, I feel like a miracle has occurred. ‘My Grinch heart grew three sizes that day!’ He is three months sober, his anger is gone, and I love to hear him laugh. While recovery will be ongoing—and surely will have bumps—I already feel like I have my son back. I can’t stop the tears of joy.”
—Mom from Portland, OR

Supporting Our Loved Ones in Recovery This Holiday Season

As the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded of the power of connection—family, community, and the meaningful traditions that bring us together.

For families walking alongside a loved one in recovery, this time of year can feel especially emotional. The holidays are often joyful, but they can also surface stress, old patterns, and memories tied to addiction.

Yet, with intention and support, the season can also be a time of healing and renewal. A mother of a Back2Basics client recently shared this heartfelt reflection about her son’s progress.

Our crew spent an incredible weekend camping between Tucson and Phoenix, soaking in the sparkling desert stars. We tackled a challenging—and deeply rewarding—hike up Picacho Peak, weaving our way past towering Saguaros and scrambling across rocky sections of the dry Sonoran desert.

We wrapped up the weekend with a stop at Pleasant Lake near Phoenix. Our final night was spent near a tiny town with a population just over 100—quiet, peaceful, and the perfect way to close out the trip.

Early the next morning, we packed up and headed home—tired, sun-kissed, and grateful for a great weekend outdoors.
