Cooking Up More Than a Meal!

At Headquarters, our new residential treatment center, the kitchen has quickly become one of the most meaningful spaces in the house. It’s where our guys come together—not just to eat, but to connect, learn, and grow.

This week, with the guidance of our culinary staff, they prepped a hearty dinner of steaks and potatoes. Beyond the meal, experiences like this teach valuable life skills: teamwork, responsibility, and the simple joy of creating something from scratch.

Recovery is about more than therapy sessions—it’s also about building healthy routines, learning independence, and finding community in everyday moments. And sometimes, that starts with peeling potatoes side by side.

There’s something special about seeing our guys settle into Headquarters, our new residential treatment center in Flagstaff. More than just bedrooms and therapy rooms, this space gives them room to grow, connect, and build lasting memories.

This week, that looked like a simple game of co****le in the backyard—a reminder that recovery isn’t only about hard work, but also about laughter, teamwork, and learning how to enjoy life in healthy ways.

“Headquarters gives our young men room to breathe, heal, and discover joy in the everyday.” – Roy J. DuPrez, MEd, CEO & Founder

This weekend we headed to Escalante, Utah. After Saturday's breakfast, we headed out 5 miles to the next camping spot. The hike was mostly flat but physically challenging. Everyone completed it with no issues. This next spot was insanely beautiful. It was right next to the creek with our own water hole and a big sand filled camp site. We spent the day playing spades, and relaxing by the water. Some of the boys took naps. It was a pretty chill day, and we soaked it all in!

“Through the long-term portion of B2B, I have been able to see myself grow immensely. I was entitled and immature, and I had no perception of real life. Since then I have been able to realize the true value of working for a dollar, and I believe I have made big leaps with maturity.

I have learned how to successfully handle finances and manage my own priorities and commitments in life. Sobriety has enabled me to enjoy work and play as a result of managing priorities in my life. Back2Basics has given me more tools than ever to be a successful member of society.”– Resident

A Place to Heal, Grow, and Honor

We’re thrilled about Headquarters, our newly licensed Residential Treatment Center in Flagstaff, Arizona. Nestled on 1.2 acres against the Coconino National Forest, with access to the Urban Trail and Rio de Flag, this 7-bedroom, 7-bathroom facility offers more than just a peaceful setting—it offers possibility.

Our new space is already becoming a place of transformation. This week, one young man began planting a memorial garden in honor of his sister—a small act of healing that speaks volumes about what this new home makes possible.

From clinical therapy and psychiatric care to outdoor adventure, life skills, wellness, and family support, Headquarters gives our guys space to reconnect, reflect, and build meaningful lives in recovery—together.

Contact us today: 928-223-5833.

This week, our Back2Basics crew partnered with Catholic Charities to help a local woman in need with some much-needed cleaning and home care.

Service work is a core part of recovery—it’s about showing up, giving back, and reconnecting with community. We’re proud of our guys for stepping up and lending a hand with open hearts.

We had the privilege of leading an urban hike during the ASU Social Work Conference here in Flagstaff!

The hike was guided by one of our incredible alumni—now part of our team and currently earning his Master of Social Work at NAU.

It was a great opportunity to connect with social work professionals, share our approach to outdoor recovery, and showcase how nature and community play a vital role in the healing journey.

The journey of recovery from substance abuse requires more than abstinence. While adapting to life substance free, developing effective life skills is vital for achieving lasting change. Practicing life skills fosters resilience and empowerment during a critical period of lifestyle transformation and helps to ensure long term recovery.
