At Blueprints for Recovery, we recognize that young adult addicts face a variety of complex issues that require comprehensive treatment. These issues include depression, dysthymia, lack of motivation, lack of spiritual connection, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, trauma and affect dysregulation, difficulty feeling connected or belonging to a group, lack of life skills and communication skills, and a persistent belief that drugs or alcohol can address these disparities. Our program addresses all of these issues over an extended period of time, giving the addict the best possible chance at long-term recovery.
ABOUT BLUEPRINTS FOR RECOVERY
Blueprints for Recovery is a treatment center located in Prescott, Ariz. that specifically caters to men between the ages of 18 and 30 who are struggling with substance abuse. It is among the 73 (20 percent) of Arizona facilities that offer long-term residential treatment services. Our treatment program is built on a foundation of 12-step immersion and incorporates evidence-based and experiential therapy methods.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to Blueprints for Recovery’s website, clients undergo treatment for six to nine months and follow a three-phase program that guides them from drug use to sobriety in a gradual process.
The treatment process at Blueprints for Recovery begins with a comprehensive needs assessment. Program applicants are evaluated for psychiatric and addiction treatment needs in order to develop a personalized treatment plan. During the residential phase of treatment, clients are closely monitored by medical professionals.
Our programming includes 12-step treatment, which we consider the “backbone” of our program. Individual and group counseling also play a significant role in our curriculum. Additionally, we utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to establish both short and long-term goals, modify behavior, and address destructive thinking patterns. Our clients engage in outdoor therapeutic activities such as daily group hikes.
Other treatment activities include experiential and holistic therapies, such as expressive arts therapy, guided meditation sessions, and outdoor activities.
At Blueprints for Recovery, we also conduct regular family workshops that include educational classes and family counseling sessions. We strongly encourage our residential alumni to continue their treatment in our transitional homes. Residents of these homes continue to attend 12-step meetings, participate in group and individual counseling, and undergo regular drug testing.
