Back 2 Basics is a family operated, community supported, sober living environment for young adults ages 18 and up. The program begins with a ten-week intensive outdoor adventure program followed by a structured curriculum in a peer driven, staff supported, stable home environment where residents can focus on their recovery from drug and/or alcohol abuse. The average length of stay is six months.
This program, located in Flagstaff, AZ opened its doors in May of 2010. Roy Duprez, M Ed is the Director of Operations and has co-founded and developed various community programs. His professional career has taken him through the classroom, the outdoors, jails and juvenile and adult drug and alcohol treatment centers. The Clinical Director is Charles Horton, PhD, who specializes in therapeutic groups and individual therapy mainly for substance abuse, familial difficulties, disabilities, and life threatening illness. The staff includes a clinical team devoted to individual and group therapy and a residential team that focuses on the day-to-day living.
