About Guiding Road Recovery Center
Guiding Road Recovery Center empowers men to achieve long-term sobriety with treatment focused on relapse prevention, men’s issues, and inclusive family sessions. Their program is small and personal: the owner, clinical director, and staff are hands-on and deeply invested in each man’s journey. Treatment includes on-site boarding, allowing clients to remain immersed in treatment while beginning to rebuild their lives and show up more fully as fathers, partners, brothers, and friends.
Address Addiction from All Angles
Guiding Road combines science and spirituality to address the whole person, including the underlying factors that contribute to addiction, such as mental health challenges and relationship patterns. Drawing from a wide range of methods, clients engage in evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and body-based practices like tension and trauma releasing exercises (TRE). Additionally, each client is matched with a mentor who provides guidance and accountability throughout the recovery process.
Recharge in a Distraction-Free Space
Located in the foothills of Squaw Peak Preserve, Guiding Road provides a peaceful setting designed to feel like a home, not a hospital. Clients stay in shared rooms with Tempur-Pedic beds and enjoy quiet study areas, a movie room, a gourmet kitchen, an infrared sauna, and a fully equipped gym. Outdoors, the pool and fire pit create moments for rest and connection, surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains.
Plan to Maintain Sobriety After Treatment
Guiding Road offers aftercare services to help clients maintain sobriety and navigate challenges for a year after treatment. When leaving the facility, Guiding Road provides a comprehensive plan to support the transition back into everyday life, which may include relapse prevention strategies, mentorship, ongoing therapy, case management, support groups, referrals to community resources, and access to the alumni network.
